Question

Answer 1

337.82 cm

Explanation:

Santiago is 5 feet tall and 11 inches tall and Michael is 5 feet tall and 2 inches tall.

We need to find total height in cm.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 feet = 30.48 cm

5 feet 11 inches = 5(30.48) + 11(2.54)

= 180.34 cm

5 feet 2 inches = 5(30.48) + 2(2.54)

= 157.48 cm

Total height = Santiago's height + Michael's height

= 180.34 cm + 157.48 cm

= 337.82 cm

Hence, their total height is 337.82 cm.
