Question

Sheila is 1.7 m tall her son is 109 cm tall how many meters taller is Sheila than her son

Answer 1

0.61

Explanation:

One cenimeter is equivalent to 0.01 meter.

109cm • 0.01 = 1.09m

1.7m - 1.09m = 0.61m

Sheila is 0.61m taller than her son

Answer 2

61 cm or 0.61 m

Explanation:

1. One meter is 100 cm, so you multiply 1.7 meters by 100 to get 170 cm.

2. Now that they are in the same units, to get their difference in height, you subtract Sheila's height from her son's (170 - 109) and get 61 cm.

3. Convert it back to meters by dividing by 100 and you get their difference in height in meters, 0.61 m.
