Question

Liz and Alana each participated in the high jump at the track meet. Liz's high jump was 1 meter.Alana's high jump was 132 cm. Who jumped higher?How much higher? please explain work

Answer 1

I did all the work on a piece of paper. So, if you convert 1 meter into cm it would be 100 cm.

1 meter= 100 cm

But, because Alana's jump was 132 cm and Liz's jump was 1 meter or 100 cm Alana's jump was higher.

132 cm > 100 cm

So, Alana's Jump was 32 cm higher than Liz's jump.

Answer 2

1 meter = 100 centimeters = the height of Liz's jump.

132 is greater than 100, so Alana's jump was higher.

I hope this helps! :)
