Let's see, there are 100 cm in a meter ("centi" means "hundredth" just as " milli" means "thousandth"), so half a meter would be half of a hundred cm, which makes 50 just about spot on....
2 half meters is 1 meter. There are 100cm in a meter
Half a meter is 50cm. There are 10mm per cm so there are 500mm in 1/2 meter
150cm
The first step in answering this question is to convert the metres value into cm. That makes the sum easier, and allows us to work with consistent units. There are 100cm in a m, so to convert from m to cm you have to multiply by 100. In this case, we have 0.5m, so multiply that by 100 to give 50cm. Therefore the question can be rewritten as how many cm is 50cm longer than 34cm. The answer is just 50-34 or 16cm.
