Question

Sean is 27 centimeters shorter than his father who is 2 meters tall. How tall is Sean?

Answer 1

Hello :)

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

Therefore, 2 meters is 200 centimeters.

If Sean is 27 centimeters shorter than his father, you'd do 200 - 27.

200 - 27 = 173.

Therefore, Sean is 173 centimeters tall.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Sean is 173 centimeters or 1.73 meters tall.

Explanation:

The height of the father of Sean is = 2 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore, 2 meters = 100 × 2 = 200 centimeters.

Sean is 27 centimeters shorter than his father.

So the height of Sean = 200 - 27

= 173 centimeters

converting to meter =
`(173)/(100)` = 1.73 meters

Sean is 173 centimeters or 1.73 meters tall.
