Yes, Alice is taller than Kate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Kate is 5 feet 2 inches tall.

Alice is 1.57 metres tall.

Kate's height = 5 feet 2 inches

Converting Kate's height to meters

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence,

5 feets = (12 * 5) = 60 inches

Kate's height = 60 inches + 2 inches = 62 inches

1 inch = 2.5 centimeters

62 inches = (2.5 * 62) = 155 centimeters

Kate = 155 centimeter tall

Alice's height = 1.57 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

1.57 meters = (1.57 * 100) = 157 centimeters

157 > 155

Hence, Alice is taller than Kate
