Ordering measurements in mixed units Start Thinking
Which is the heaviest bag of flour? Is there any more information that you need to know? Let’s Learn Together
Let’s arrange the children in order of height from shortest to tallest.
I am 1 metre and 53 centimetres tall.
I am 141 centimetres tall.
I am 1.48 metres tall.
To be able to compare measurements they need to be in the same unit. We can compare them all in centimetres: 148 cm 141 cm
153 cm
or in mixed units:
1 m 48 cm
1 m 41 cm
1 m 53 cm
or in metres:
1.48 m
1.41 m
1.53 m
