Jake is 1.64 m tall. Maxine is 27 cm shorter than Jake. Rita is 19 cm shorter than Maxine. How tall is Rita?

$\huge\mathtt{{\colorbox{silver}{★ANSWER★}}}$

Jake = 1.64m = 164 cm

Maxine is 27cm shorter than Jake.

Maxine = 164 cm - 27 cm = 137 cm

Rita is 19 cm shorter than Maxine

Rita = 137 cm - 19 cm = 118 cm

Therefore, Rita's height = 118 cm or 1.18 m

Answer 2

Answer:

1.18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height if Jake = 1.64 m

Height of Maxine = 1.74 - 0.27 = 1.37 m

Height of Rita = 1.37 - 0.19 = 1.18 m
