1. Convert everything to inches:
* 4 feet * 12 inches/foot = 48 inches
* Total inches: 48 inches + 5 inches = 53 inches
2. Convert inches to centimeters:
* 53 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 134.62 cm
3. Convert centimeters to meters:
* 134.62 cm * 0.01 m/cm = 1.3462 meters
Therefore, 4 feet 5 inches is approximately equal to 1.3462 meters.
