In order to determine the height of Jonas in centimeters, proceed as follow:

- Expresses the Jonas height only in inches. Convert 4 ft to inches (use 1 ft = 12 in):


4ft\cdot(12in)/(1ft)=48in

- Then, Joans height is 48 in + 2 in = 50 in.

- Convert 50 in to centimeter (use 1 in = 2.54 cm):


50in\cdot\frac{2.54\operatorname{cm}}{1in}=127\operatorname{cm}
