Question

A bird is 4 meters from the ground. The bird is 74 cm higher from the ground than a squirrel that is sitting in a tree. How far from the ground is the squirrel?

Answer 1

4 meters = 400 cm

The bird is 400 cm above the ground, and the squirrel is 74 cm below the bird.

400 - 74 = 326 cm

Answer 2

3.26m

Explanation:

The bird is 4 meters above the ground and the bird is 74cm above the squirrel. We can change from cm to m

1 m = 10 cm

0.74m = 74 cm

The squirrel is between the bird and the ground so:

Squirrels distance = 4- 0.74=3.26m

The squirrel is 3.26 m above the ground
