Ok.
.
Let's get to some kitchen work!!
.
Kitchen designing also takes math skillz.
.
So, let's place the numbers we have been given in order!!
.
Let's see...
.
0.8 meters comes as the shortest.
0.81 meters comes as second shortest. 
1.08 meters -
.
WAIT!!
.
DON'T GO ON!!
.
Centimeters. 180 and 18 centimeters. CENTIMETERS!!
.
Gotta make this clear.
.
How many centimeters goes into one meter?
.
Yup. 100.
.
18/100...
.
0/18 meters.
.
180/100...
.
1.8 meters.
.
Let's get to work again!!
.
18 centimeters comes shortest.
0.8 meters comes 2nd shortest.
0.81 meters comes 3rd shortest.
1.08 meters comes 2nd longest.
180 centimeters comes longest.
.
We have everything in place and ready to go!!
.
What's 180 - 18?
.
162.
.
So, the longest minus shortest length pipes have a difference of 162 centimers.
.
Hope I helped!!

we know that

[tex] 1 [/tex] meter is equal to [tex] 100 [/tex] centimeters

Step [tex] 1 [/tex]

convert all measurements to centimeters

case 1) [tex] 0.81\ m[/tex]

[tex] 0.81\ m = 0.81*100= 81\ cm [/tex]

case 2) [tex] 1.08\ m[/tex]

[tex] 1.08\ m = 1.08*100= 108\ cm [/tex]

case 3) [tex] 0.8\ m[/tex]

[tex] 0.8\ m = 0.8*100= 80\ cm [/tex]

case 4) [tex] 180\ cm[/tex]

case 5) [tex] 18\ cm[/tex]

Step [tex] 2 [/tex]

Compare the values

we have

[tex] [81,108,80,180,18] [/tex]

the shortest length is [tex] 18 [/tex]

the longest length is [tex] 180 [/tex]

Step [tex] 3 [/tex]

Subtract the shortest length from the longest

[tex] 180\ cm-18\ cm=162\ cm [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 162\ cm[/tex]
