You are fitting a new kitchen and measure the following lengths of pipe.


Subtract the shortest length from the longest.
0.81 m
1.08 m
0.8 m
180 cm
18 cm
answer is m

180 cm - 18 cm = ?

To subtract the shortest length from the longest, you need to convert all the lengths to the same unit of measurement. Let's convert the lengths in centimeters to meters:

180 cm = 1.80 m
18 cm = 0.18 m

Now we have the following lengths in meters:
0.81 m
1.08 m
0.8 m
1.80 m
0.18 m

To find the shortest length and the longest length, we can compare them:

Shortest length: 0.18 m
Longest length: 1.80 m

Now, let's subtract the shortest length from the longest length:
1.80 m - 0.18 m = 1.62 m

Therefore, the answer is 1.62 m.

To find the difference between the shortest and longest lengths of pipe, you need to first convert all the lengths to the same unit, which is meters.

Given lengths:
0.81 m
1.08 m
0.8 m
180 cm
18 cm

To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100:

180 cm ÷ 100 = 1.8 m
18 cm ÷ 100 = 0.18 m

Now, list all the lengths in meters:
0.81 m
1.08 m
0.8 m
1.8 m
0.18 m

Next, subtract the shortest length from the longest length:
1.8 m - 0.18 m = 1.62 m

So, the difference between the shortest and longest lengths of pipe is 1.62 meters.
