Question

Aaron's plane flew 4.5 m. Noah's plane only flew half the distance that Aaron's plane flew. How many centimeters further did Aaron's plane fly?

Answer 1

Their are 100 cm in a metre, and half of 4.5 is 2.25 m.
2.25m is 225 cm.
Because aaron’s was twice the distance, this is your answer.
225cm further.

Answer 2

225 centimeters.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to find half of 4.5. We can do this by dividing 4.5 by 2. When we do this, we get 2.25. This means Noah's plane flew 2.25 meters, but we aren't done yet. Now, we need to find how much farther Aaron's plane flew. We can do this by subtracting 2.25 from 4.5. From this, we get 2.25. That last step wasn't really necessary. Now, we need to convert 2.25 meters to centimeters, we can do this by multiplying 2.25 by 100. When we do this, we get 225. This means Aaron's plane flew 225 centimeters farther than Noah's plane.
