Dylan is the best athlete in our school. He plays football, basketball, and baseball and does the pole vault for the track team. He can vault up to five and seventy-three hundredths meters. If he would like to be able to pole vault up to six and twelve hundredths meters, how many more centimeters does he need to pole vault to reach his goal?

Respuesta :

We need to subtract his current status by his goal:

goal - current = needed
6.12 - 5.73 = 0.39 m.

Now, we need to convert to cm. Since there is 100 cm in 1 m:

0.39 * 100
39 cm

Hope this helps!
