Answer:

The answer is 190.5cm

Explanation:

so solve this problem, we first need to convert marco's height to inches.

there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

multiply.


(6ft)/(1) *(12inch)/(1ft) \\72inch

notice how ft cancel out because they are in opposite positions of the fraction.

add 72+3 to get marco's height in inches.


72+3\\75

marco is 75inches.

with this information, we can solve for his height in cm.

write an equation.


(75inch)/(1) *(2.54cm)/(iinch)

solve.


(75inch)/(1) *(2.54cm)/(iinch)\\190.5cm

marco is 190.5centimeters

hope this helps!
