Susie is 5 feet and 6 inches tall. What would her height be in centimeters? (1 foot = 12 inches, 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters)

Answer 1

167.64 cm

Explanation:

5 ft 6 inches to centimeters

1 ft = 12 inches

so 5 ft = (5 * 12) = 60 inches + ur 6 inches = 66 inches

66 inches to centimeters

1 inch = 2.54 cm...so 66 inches = (66 * 2.54) = 167.64 cm <==

Answer 2

1 in = 2.54 cm

1 ft = 12 in = 12 · 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm

2 ft + 6 in = 2 · 30.48 cm + 6 · 2.54 cm = 60.96 cm + 15.24 cm = 76.2 cm

Answer: 76.2 cm.
