10 Answers
1 foot = 30.48 cm
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 cm = 1/30.48 foot = 1/2.54 inch
170 cm
= 170 cm/30.48 feet
≈ 5.6 feet
0.6 foot
= 0.6 foot * 12 inches
= 7.2 inches
≈ 7 inches
∴ 170 cm ≈ 5 feet and 7 inches
You need to know some conversion factors to solve this problem:
1. 1 inch = 2.54 cm
2. 1 foot = 12 inches
With this information you can solve the problem. first convert CM to INCHES:
170 cm * (1 inch / 2.54 cm) = 66.9 in
Now divide the inches by inches-per-feet to get an integral value, taking care of the remainder:
66.9 in * (1 foot / 12 inches) = 5 feet plus a fraction
5 feet is really 60 inches. Which leaves 6.9 inches left from 66.9 inches.
Thus, the value is 5 feet 6.9 inches.
If this is a height, we would say a 170 cm tall person is 5 feet 7 inches.
