1. Convert inches to feet:
* There are 12 inches in a foot, so 5 inches is equal to 5/12 feet.
2. Add the feet together:
* 5 feet + 5/12 feet = 65/12 feet
3. Convert feet to meters:
* 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters.
* (65/12 feet) * (0.3048 meters/foot) ≈ 1.651 meters
Therefore, five feet and five inches are approximately equal to 1.651 meters.
