Answer 1

Cloud is 1.7m tall

Jessica is 183cm = 1.83m

Jessica is 0.13m taller

Answer 2

Jessica is taller than Cloud. Her height, when converted to meters (1.83 m), is greater than Cloud's 1.7 meters. The difference in their heights is 0.13 meters, making Jessica taller by this amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who is taller between Cloud and Jessica, we need to compare their heights in the same units. Cloud is 1.7 meters tall, and Jessica's height needs to be converted from centimeters to meters to do the comparison. Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, we divide Jessica's height in centimeters by 100 to convert it to meters:

Jessica's height in meters = 183 cm ÷ 100 = 1.83 meters.

Now that both heights are in meters, we can compare:

• Cloud: 1.7 m
• Jessica: 1.83 m

Jessica is taller than Cloud.

To find out how much taller Jessica is, we subtract Cloud's height from Jessica's height:

Jessica's height - Cloud's height = 1.83 m - 1.7 m = 0.13 meters.

So, Jessica is taller than Cloud by 0.13 meters, which makes the correct answer:

b) Jessica is taller by 0.13 meters.
