Given:
Mural Height = 7 meters
Find the height of the marble sculpture if the mural is 69 centimeters taller.
Solution:
Convert the height of the mural into centimeters to easily calculate how tall it is from the marble sculpture.
1 meter = 100 cm
7 meters = 700 cm
Subtract 69 cm from 700 cm in order to get the height of the marble sculpture.
700cm - 69 cm = 631 cm
Convert 631 cm into meters by dividing it with 100.
=631 /100
= 6.31 m
The height of the mural is 6.31 m
