One of the shortest trees, the pygmy pine, grows to a height of 8 centimeters. One of the tallest trees, the redwood, can grow to a height of 110 meters. What is the difference, in centimeters, in the heights of these two trees.
Use the last post to convert 110 m to cm. Then subtract ??cm - 8 cm = xx cm difference.
To solve this problem, we'll first convert the height of the redwood tree from meters to centimeters.
We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So, to convert 110 meters to centimeters, we will multiply 110 by 100:
110 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 11,000 centimeters
Now that we have converted the height of the redwood tree to centimeters, we can find the difference in height between the two trees.
To do this, we subtract the height of the pygmy pine tree (8 centimeters) from the height of the redwood tree (11,000 centimeters):
11,000 centimeters - 8 centimeters = 10,992 centimeters
Therefore, the difference in height between the pygmy pine and the redwood tree is 10,992 centimeters.
