Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given 

Height of Olivia =1.38 meters 

As 1 meter =100 centimeters 

1.38 meters =1.38×100 centimeters 

1.38 meters =138 centimeters 

Height of Olivia =138 centimeters 

She is 29 centimeters taller than than her younger 

brother Donald . 

So, height of Donald =138-29 centimeters 

height of Donald =109 centimeters 

Total height = height of Olivia + height of Donald 

Total height =138 cm +109 cm

Total height =247 centimeters
