Explanation:

To compare the two predictions, we need to convert the units of measurement to the same unit. We can do this by converting 15 feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 15 feet = 15 x 12 = 180 inches.

So, the first meteorologist predicted 180 inches of snow.

Now, we can compare the two predictions:

- First meteorologist: 180 inches

- Second meteorologist: 156 inches

The first meteorologist's prediction is greater by:

180 - 156 = 24 inches

Therefore, the first meteorologist's prediction of 15 feet of snow at Mount Rainier is greater than the second meteorologist's prediction of 156 inches of snow by 24 inches.
