Answer 2

Answer: The tree is higher by 150 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of the tree = 5m 50cm

1m = 100 cm

5m 50cm = (5×100) cm+ 50 cm

= 500cm + 50 cm

=550 cm

Height of the pole = 15 dm 250 cm

1 dm = 10 cm

15dm 250cm = (15+10) cm +250 cm

= 150 cm + 250cm

= 400 cm

550 cm > 400cm

Therefore, tree is higher by

550 cm - 400 cm= 150 cm
