Question

Joey is 1.72 m tall. He is 56 cm taller than Jorge. Find their total height. Give your answer in metres.

Answer 1

To find their total height, we need to add Joey's height (1.72 m) to the height difference between them (56 cm), which we have to convert to meters.

56 cm is equal to 56/100 = 0.56 m.

Therefore, their total height is 1.72 m + 0.56 m = 2.28 m.
