If I Am 157 CM Tall, How Many Feet Am I?

Convert Centimeters to Inches

We know that 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

To convert centimeters to inches, divide the number of centimeters by 2.54:

      157cm÷2.54cm/inch=61.8110236inches

So, 157 cm is approximately 61.81 inches.

 Convert Inches to Feet

Now, to convert inches into feet, we know that 1 foot = 12 inches.

We can convert inches into feet by dividing the number of inches by 12:

    61.81inches÷12inches/foot=5.15feet

So, 61.81 inches is approximately 5.15 feet.

Express the Decimal in Feet and Inches

We now have 5.15 feet. To break this down into feet and inches:

• The whole number 5 represents the feet.
• The decimal part 0.15 of a foot needs to be converted into inches.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, multiply the decimal by 12 to find the equivalent inches:

        0.15×12=1.8inches

So, 0.15 feet is approximately 1.8 inches.

Final Answer:

Therefore, 157 cm is approximately equal to 5 feet 1.8 inches, which we can round to 5 feet 2 inches.

Summary:

• 157 cm = 5 feet 2 inches (approximately)
