Answer:

2.54 x 60 = h

h = 152.4

Explanation:

5 feet is equal to 152.4 centimeters. Below is an explanation I found on the web explaining this:

To calculate 5 Feet to the corresponding value in Centimeters, multiply the quantity in Feet by 30.48 (the conversion factor). In this case, we should multiply 5 Feet by 30.48 to get the equivalent result in Centimeters:

5 Feet x 30.48 = 152.4 Centimeters

Thus, 5 feet is equivalent to 152.4 centimeters.

Now, assuming this part has been understood, we can move on. I see variables are being used to represent factors here. As stated, h represents Tonya's height in centimeters.

So, knowing the equivalent amount of centimeters in 5 feet we can answer this easily. 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters according to this problem.

152.4 ÷ 2.54 = 60.

2.54 can go into 152.4 60 times.

2.54 x 60 = h

h = 152.4 aka Tonya's height in centimeters.

Hope this helps!
