We are asked to determine which of the following measurements is greater: 5 meters or 1300 centimeters.

1. Problem Description

We are asked to determine which of the following measurements is greater: 5 meters or 1300 centimeters.

2. Solution Steps

To compare the two measurements, we need to convert them to the same unit. We can convert meters to centimeters using the following conversion factor:

$1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters}$

So, to convert 5 meters to centimeters, we multiply 5 by 100:

$5 \text{ meters} = 5 \times 100 \text{ centimeters} = 500 \text{ centimeters}$

Now we can compare 500 centimeters and 1300 centimeters. Since $1300 > 500$, we have that 1300 centimeters is greater than 5 meters.

3. Final Answer

1,300 centimeters is greater.
