Answer:

There are 12 inches in a foot and 2.54 centimeters in an inch so since he is 5 feet you would multiply 5 and 12 and then add the remaining 10 inches:

5 times 12 = 60 + 10 = 70 inches

Now, there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch and since he is 70 inches tall you will multiply how many inches tall he is by the mesurment of a centimeter:

70 times 2.54 = 177.8cm

John is 177.8 cm tall!

Hope it helps! =D

Answer: 177.8

Explanation:
2.54 x 12 is 30.48
you multiply 30.48 with 5 to get 152.4 which is equal to 5 feet in cm
multiply 2.54 x 10 to get 10 inches
25.4 + 152.4 = 177.8
hope that helped :)
