Answer 1

Answer:Joan's height is 127 centimetres

Explanation:

Step 1

Joan is 4 feet 2 inches tall and we want to change to centimeters .

we first change her height to inches

1 Foot = 12 Inches

Therefore 4 Feet = 4 x 12 = 48 inches

Total height in inches =48 inches + 2 Inches = 50 inches

Step 2 --Now, we have gotten her height in inches, we can now change to centimetres.

We have that

1 inch =2.54 centimeters

50inches = 50 x 2.54 cm

=127 centmeters.

Joan's height is 127 centimetres
