Question

Elena is 56 inches tall. What is her height in centimeters? (Note: 100 inches = 254 centimeters) What is her height in meters?

Answer 1

142.24cm

Explanation:

If 100 inches = 254cm then if you do 254/100 you will get how many cm are in an inch. 254/100 = 2.54

This means there are 2.54 cm in an inch. Multiply 2.54cm by 56 inches and you get how many cm are in 56 inches which is 142.24cm. This means Elena is 142.24 cm tall.

Answer 2

Elena is 142 centimeters tall.

Elena is 1.42 meters tall.

Explanation:

1. Calculate the height of Elena in centimeters:

`56inches*(254centimeters)/(100inches)=142centimeters`

Elena is 142 centimeters tall.

2. Calculate the height of Elena in meters:

`142.24centimeters*(1meter)/(100centimeters)=1.42meters`

Elena is 1.42 meters tall.
