Height of Joey is 142.24 centimeters

Solution:

Given that,

Joey is 4 feet 8 inches tall

There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch

To find: Joey's height in centimeters

From given information,

Height of Joey = 4 feet 8 inches

we know that,

1 feet = 12 inches

So, 4 feet = 4 x 12 = 48 inches

Therefore,

4 feet 8 inches = 48 inches + 8 inches = 56 inches

Now we have to convert 56 inches to centimeters

By given information.

1 inches = 2.54 centimeters

Therefore,

56 inches = 56 x 2.54 = 142.24 centimeters

Thus height of Joey in centimeters is 142.24 cm
