    The first thing I measured was my TV which is 1m and 23cm. It’s 23cm longer than 1m. Then I measured a cushion which was 50cm. 50cm is 50cm less than 1m. The third thing I measured was the big table. which was long 2m and 10cm that is 1m and 10cm more than 1m. Forth thing was my i-pad which was only 24cm and that is 76cm less than 1m. The last thing was my pool fence which luckily was the right size 1m and 23cm .
