SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In this question, we are given the following:

Scott is 72 inches tall and Chris is 185 centimeters tall.

Who is taller? Show your work.

Step 2:

Scott is 72 inches tall

and

Chris is 185 centimeters tall

Converting cm to inches, we have that:


\begin{gathered} 1\operatorname{cm}\text{ = }0.393701\text{ inch} \\ 185\text{ cm = 185 x 0.393701 = }72.\text{ 834685 }\approx\text{ 72. 8 inch} \end{gathered}

CONCLUSION:

Since Chris' height = 72.8 inch tall and Scott's height = 72 inch tall

Hence, Chris is taller.
