Question

jack is 1.36 meters tall. his friend ian is 5 cm taller than jack. what height is ian? give your answer in meters​

Answer 1

S O L U T I O N :

According to the question,

• Height of Jack = 1.36 m
• Height of Ian = 5 cm + Height of Jack

We are asked to calculate height of Ian in meters.

As in the question it is stated that the height of Ian is 5 cm more than the height of Jack. So, we need to add the height of Jack and 5 cm in order to calculate the height of Ian.

Note that, units must be same! We are asked to find the height of Ian in meters. So, we'll convert 5 cm into meters and then we'll perform addition.

Let's commence the steps!

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_((Ian) ) = 5\; cm + Height_((Jack) ) }\\`

• 1 cm = (1/100) m

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_((Ian) ) = (5)/(100) \; m + 1.36 \; m} \\`

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_((Ian) ) = (5)/(100) \; m + (136)/(100) \; m} \\`

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_((Ian) ) = \Bigg( (5 + 136)/(100) \Bigg ) \; m}\\`

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_((Ian) ) = \Bigg( (141)/(100) \Bigg ) \; m} \\`

`\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \bf \underline { Height_((Ian) )= 1.41 \; m} \\`

Therefore, height of Ian is 1.41 meters.
