Q123 of 129 Page 57

Which one is greater?

1 metre 40 centimetres + 60 centimetres or 2.6 metres.

1 metre = 100 centimetre


Now we have 1 metre 40centimetre + 60 centimetre


we have 40 cm + 60 cm =100cm 1metre


∴ we have 1metre + 1metre = 2metres


and the other value is given as 2.6metres


∴ we can see that 2.6metres is greater than 1metre 40centimetre + 60centimetre.
