Solution

Length of the string of Joe's kite = 6,008 cm
Length of string of Zaid's kite = 7,998 cm

As we can see, 7998 cm > 6008 cm.
So, Zaid's kite is flying at a greater height.

Now, subtract the two values to get the difference.

We know:
100 cm = 1 m
$1990 cm = 1900 cm + 90 cm = 19 m + 90 cm$

∴ Zaid's kite is flying higher by 19 m 90 cm.
