The correct Answer is:
To find out how much shorter Geetanjali is than Jyoti, we will perform the following steps: ### Step 1: Write down the heights of Jyoti and Geetanjali. - Jyoti's height = 1.59 m - Geetanjali's height = 0.94 m ### Step 2: Set up the subtraction. We need to subtract Geetanjali's height from Jyoti's height to find out how much shorter she is: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Height of Jyoti} - \text{Height of Geetanjali} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 1.59 \, \text{m} - 0.94 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Perform the subtraction. Align the numbers for subtraction: ``` 1.59 - 0.94 ``` Start from the rightmost digit: - In the hundredths place: 9 - 4 = 5 - In the tenths place: 5 - 9 cannot be done, so we need to borrow 1 from the units place. This makes the 1 in the units place become 0, and the 5 becomes 15. - Now, 15 - 9 = 6 - In the units place: 0 - 0 = 0 So, the result of the subtraction is: ``` 1.59 - 0.94 ------- 0.65 ``` ### Step 4: Write down the final answer. Geetanjali is 0.65 m shorter than Jyoti. ### Final Answer: Geetanjali is 0.65 meters shorter than Jyoti. ---
