Kevan is 102 cm tall and D' Angelo is 1020 mm tall. Who is the tallest?
- A.
Kevan
- B.
D'Angelo
- C.
None of them
- D.
Cm is different from mm
Correct Answer
C. None of themExplanation
The correct answer is None of them because although D'Angelo's height is given in millimeters, which is a smaller unit of measurement than centimeters, it does not necessarily mean that he is taller than Kevan. The conversion between centimeters and millimeters is 1 cm = 10 mm, so D'Angelo's height of 1020 mm is equivalent to 102 cm, which is the same as Kevan's height. Therefore, they are both the same height and neither is taller than the other.Rate this question:
