Answer

Peter ($180.34\text{ cm}$) is taller than Paul ($176\text{ cm}$).

Work Step by Step

We convert both heights to centimeters. Peter's height: $5\text{ ft} 11\text{ in}=5\times 12+11=71\text{ in}$ $71\text{ in}\times 2.54\text{cm/in}=180.34\text{ cm}$ Paul's height: $176\text{ cm}$ As $180.34>176$, Peter is taller.
