7 ft 6 in......1 ft = 12 inches.....so 7 ft = (12 * 7) = 84 inches....plus the 6 inches......so u have a total of (84 + 6) = 90 inches

1 in. = 2.54 cm.....so 90 inches = (90 * 2.54) = 228.6 cm <==

There is 12 inches in 1 foot, and the fence is 7 feet 6 inches high

First, change it into inches

7 x 12 = 84 + 6 = 90 inches

There is 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch

Multiply them

90 x 2.54 = 228.6

228.6 centimeters is your answer

hope this helps
