According to the question,

  • Height of Jack = 1.36 m
  • Height of Ian = 5 cm + Height of Jack

We are asked to calculate height of Ian in meters.

As in the question it is stated that the height of Ian is 5 cm more than the height of Jack. So, we need to add the height of Jack and 5 cm in order to calculate the height of Ian.

Note that, units must be same! We are asked to find the height of Ian in meters. So, we'll convert 5 cm into meters and then we'll perform addition.

Let's commence the steps!

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_{(Ian) } = 5\; cm + Height_{(Jack) } }\\ [/tex]

  • 1 cm = (1/100) m

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_{(Ian) } = \dfrac{5}{100} \; m + 1.36 \; m} \\[/tex]

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_{(Ian) } = \dfrac{5}{100} \; m + \dfrac{136}{100} \; m} \\[/tex]

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_{(Ian) } = \Bigg( \dfrac{5 + 136}{100} \Bigg ) \; m}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf { Height_{(Ian) } = \Bigg( \dfrac{141}{100} \Bigg ) \; m} \\[/tex]

[tex]\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad \bf \underline { Height_{(Ian) }= 1.41 \; m} \\ [/tex]

Therefore, height of Ian is 1.41 meters.
