Answer

a) 1.11 m b) 298 cm

Work Step by Step

a) Converting to meters: $$ =\frac{111\ cm}{100 \ cm/m} \\ = 1.11 \ m$$ Thus, the difference is: $$ = 2.6 \ m - 1.11 \ m \\ = 1.5 \ meters$$ b) We know that 2.6 meters is 260 cm. Thus, the difference in two years in cm is: $$ = (260 \ cm- 111 \ cm) \times 2 \\ = 298 \ cm$$
