Final answer:
Zoey's height is converted from 4 feet 2 inches to centimeters by first converting feet to inches, adding the additional inches, and finally multiplying by the conversion factor of 1 inch being 2.54 centimeters, resulting in a height of 127 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Zoey is 4 feet 2 inches tall, and we need to convert this measurement to centimeters. To convert feet to inches, we first multiply the number of feet by 12, as there are 12 inches in one foot. Then, we can add the extra 2 inches. Next, using the conversion factor that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, we multiply the total number of inches by 2.54 to convert to centimeters.
- First, convert feet to inches: 4 feet × 12 inches/foot = 48 inches
- Then, add the extra inches: 48 inches + 2 inches = 50 inches
- Finally, convert inches to centimeters: 50 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 127 centimeters
Therefore, Zoey's height in centimeters is 127 cm.
