Question

How much is $168cm$ in $feet$ and $inches$?

Answer 1

Step-1: Convert centimeters to inches:

$1\mathrm{inch}=2.54\mathrm{cm}$

This implies that $1\mathrm{cm}$ is $=\frac{1}{2.54}\mathrm{in}\text{ch}$.

Multiply $168\mathrm{cm}$ with $\frac{1}{2.54}\mathrm{in}$ to convert.

$\begin{array}{rcl}168\mathrm{cm}& =& 168\times \frac{1}{2.54}\text{inch}\\ & =& 66.141732283464\text{inch}\\ & \approx & 66.142\text{inch}\end{array}$.

Step-2: Convert cm to feet and inches:

By step-1, $168\mathrm{cm}=66.142\text{inch}$

Now, $1\mathrm{feet}$ is equal to $12\mathrm{inches}$.

Since $12\times 5=60$, there are $5\mathrm{feet}$ in $60\mathrm{inches}$.

Write $66.142\mathrm{in}$ as $60+6.142\mathrm{in}$.

This implies that there are $5\text{feet}$ and $6.142\mathrm{inch}$ in $168\mathrm{cm}$.

Hence, the $168\mathrm{cm}$ is equal to $5\text{feet}\mathrm{and}6.142\mathrm{inch}$.
