Question

Identify an equation that models the situation and find its solution. Kane planned to build a 53-centimeter-tall model of a building. He later decided to increase the model's height to 159 centimeters. What was the increase of the model's height in centimeters?

Answer 1

The increment in the model is 106cm

Explanation:

Given

`Initial\ Height = 53cm`

`Final\ Height = 159cm`

Required

Determine the increment

To do this, we simply subtract the initial height of the building from the final height

`Increment = Final\ Height - Initial\ Height`

`Increment = 159cm - 53cm`

`Increment = 106cm`

Hence, the increment in the model is 106cm
