Question

Convert the height of a person who is 4.3 ft to centimeters. Include the inches-centimeter conversion factor. Round final answer to 2 decimal places if needed.

Answer 1

Answer: 131.06 cm

Work Shown:

1 foot = 12 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

`4.3 \text{ ft} = 4.3 \text{ft} * \frac{12 \text{ in}}{1 \text{ ft}} * \frac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in}}\\\\4.3 \text{ ft} = (4.3 * 12 * 2.54)/(1 * 1) \text{ cm}\\\\4.3 \text{ ft} = 131.064 \text{ cm}\\\\4.3 \text{ ft} \approx 131.06 \text{ cm}\\\\`

Note how the units are placed so the "feet" and "inches" units cancel out.
