Question 123.
Which one is greater?
1 m 40 cm +60 cm or 2.6 m

Answer 1

In order to find which of the following is greater, we will first convert them into the same unit and then compare.
So, 1 m + 40 cm + 60 cm
= $1m\frac{40}{100}m+\frac{60}{100}m$ $[\because 1m=100cm]$
=1m + 0.40m + 0.60m
=2.00m
Clearly, 2m < 2.6m
Hence, 2.6 m is greater than 1 m 40 cm + 60 cm.
