Question

Convert 1.55 feet intocentimeters.Hint: 1 in = 2.54 cm

Answer 1

Given:

1.55 feet.

Required:

We need to convert the feet to centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 foot =12 inches.

Multiply both sides by 1.55

`1.55*1\text{ feet =1.55}*12\text{ inches}`
`1.55\text{ feet =18.6 inches}`

We know that 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Multiply both sides by 18.6.

`18.6*1\text{ inch=18.6}*2.54\text{ cm}`
`18.6\text{ inchs=47.244 cm}`
`Replace\text{ 18.6 inches=1.55 feet in the equation.}`
`1.55ft\text{=47.244 cm}`
`1.55ft\text{=47.24 cm}`

Final answer:

`1.55ft\text{=47.24 cm}`
