Step 1: Convert meters to centimeters
You already know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters. So, when we have 1 meter and 63 centimeters, we simply combine the two:
1Â meter=100Â centimeters
1Â meter63Â centimeters=100+63=163Â centimeters
Step 2: Convert centimeters to inches
To convert from centimeters to inches, we use the standard conversion factor:
       1 inch=2.54 centimeters
To convert 163 centimeters to inches, we divide by 2.54:
   163÷​2.54=
Step 3: Round to a reasonable precision
In many contexts, you’d want to round the result to a reasonable number of decimal places. If you round to two decimal places:
  163 centimeters≈64.17 inches
Verification
To verify, you can check that 1 inch is indeed 2.54 centimeters by multiplying:
       64.17 inches×2.54 cm/inch≈163 centimeters
Final Answer:
1 meter 63 centimeters is approximately 64.17 inches, and this is a direct conversion based on the established ratio between centimeters and inches.
