Question

sameer is 1.83 m tall. If last year he had grown by 5cm then what was his hieght in the previous year?

Answer 1

The present height of Sameer is given to be 1.83 m

Also, it is given that last year he had grown by 5 cm

We have to find his height last year

So, we will have to subtract 5 cm from 1.83 m

5 cm = 5 / 100 m

       = 0.05 m

So, Sameer's height last year = 1.83 - 0.05

                                                = 1.78 m

Hence, Sameer's height last year was 1.78 m
