4 feet 8 inches
______________________________________________________________

First find how many inches are in 4 feet + 8 inches. There are 12 inches in 1 foot. Multiply 4 x 12 = 48. Add 8 to 48 = 56. Laney's height in inches is 56 inches.
______________________________________________________________

There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. Multiply 56 x 2.54 = 142.24.
______________________________________________________________

Laney's height is 142.24 centimeters.
