Answer 1

height of christy in the past year is=1.3m=130cm
130-16=114cm

Answer 2

Answer:

1.14 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Christy is in meters therefore we need to convert the increase to meters.

The increase = 16 cm

1 centimeter = 1 meter.

16/100= 0.16 meters.

The new height = 1.3 meters

To get the height of Christy in the previous year we need to get the new height minus the change.

This we do as below :

1.3 - 0.16 = 1.14 meters

In the previous year Christy was 1.14 meters.
