Question

PLS PLS HELP THIS IS SOOO HATD

Answer 1

Kate=155cm

Alice=157cm

Explanation:

First, lets convert 5ft 2in into inches, to do that we have to convert 5ft into inches and add 2 inches, we know that 1ft=12inches, so if we need to calculate how much inches are 5ft, we just need to multiply 12 by 5, because if 1ft=12 inches, it would make sense that 5ft would equal to five times what 1ft is equal to,

5x12=60

So 5ft is equal to 60 inches, now we just need to add 2 because Kate is 5ft and 2 inches, not just 5ft, 60in+2in=62in

now lets convert 62 inches into centimeters. We are given that 1 inch is 2.5cm, therefore using the same strategy we used before we can multiply 62 by 2.5

62x2.5=155

So 62 inches are 155 centimeters, So now we are done with Kate, lets go to Alice, We know that Alice is 1.57 meters, and we also know that 1meter=100cm, So using the same strategy, we can multiply 1.57 by 100 to convert 1.57m into cm

1.57x100=157

So Alice is 157cm and Kate is 155cm

157cm > 155cm, which shows that Kate is taller.

Hope I was of any help, let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.

Answer 2

to work out the height of Kate you would times 2.5 by 17 as 5 feet and 2 inches is equal to 17 inches which would give you 42.5cm tall.

to work out the height of alex you would times 1.57 by a hundred as there are 100 inches in a metre to get 157cm tall.

this shows Alex is taller as she is 157cm with Kate being only 42.5cm tall
