Question

What is the height in meters of a person who is 6 ft 1.0 in. tall? (assume that 1 meter equals 39.37 in.)?

Answer 1

To convert a height in feet and inches to meters, we first convert the feet and inches to inches, then divide by the conversion factor. Therefore, a person who is 6 ft 1.0 in tall is approximately 1.85 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a height in feet and inches to meters, we need to first convert the feet and inches to inches. Then, we can divide the number of inches by the conversion factor, which is 39.37 inches per meter.

Let's convert 6 feet 1.0 inch to inches. One foot is equal to 12 inches, so 6 feet is equal to 6 * 12 = 72 inches. Adding the 1.0 inch, we have a total of 73.0 inches.

Now, we can divide 73.0 inches by 39.37 inches/meter to find the height in meters. Performing the division, we get:

73.0 inches / 39.37 inches/meter = 1.85 meters

Answer 2

1 foot = 12 inch so 6 feet = 6*12 inch
6 feet = 72 inch

The height of the person in inch is = 72+1 = 73 inch

1 meter.............39.37 in
x meters.......... 73 in

x = 73/39.37 = 1.85 meters
