Answer 1

There are 182.88 cm in 6 feet, given that 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Explanation:

Given that 1 inch = 2.54 cm, how many centimeters are there in 6 feet?

12 inches = 1 foot

We have 6 feet, so:

6 feet x 12 inches = 72 inches

If 1 inch is 2.54 cm, multiply by the number of inches by 2.54 to get the number of cm.

2.54 x 72 = 182.88

There are 182.88 cm in 6 feet, given that 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
