Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Convert the lengths of both desks from millimeters (mm) to centimeters (cm).

    We know that 1 cm = 10 mm.

    Father's desk length:
    200 mm = 200 / 10 cm = 20 cm

    My desk length:
    1900 mm = 1900 / 10 cm = 190 cm

  2. Compare the lengths and calculate the difference.

    My father's desk is 20 cm long.
    My desk is 190 cm long.
    Since 20 cm is less than 190 cm, my father's desk is shorter than your desk.

  3. Determine the difference in length.

    Difference = Length of my desk - Length of father's desk
    Difference = 190 cm - 20 cm = 170 cm

    My father's desk is not longer than your desk; it is 170 cm shorter.
