Let Miko's height be x.
Mei's height is (x + 24) cm.
Cheko's height is (x + 24 - 23) cm = (x + 1) cm.
Converting all heights to meters, we have:
x + (x + 24)/100 + (x + 1)/100 = 5.17
Multiplying through by 100 to eliminate the fractions gives:
100x + x + 24 + x + 1 = 517
Combining like terms gives:
102x + 25 = 517
Subtracting 25 from both sides gives:
102x = 492
Dividing both sides by 102 gives:
x = 4.82
Hence, Miko's height is 4.82 meters.
The total height of 3 pupils is 5.17 m. Cheko is 0.23 m shorter than Mei. Mei is 24 cm taller than Miko. What is Miko's height in metres? And the answer is not 1.57
