1. Convert centimeters to inches:
* There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
* Divide 154.2 cm by 2.54 cm/inch: 154.2 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 60.7 inches
2. Separate into feet and inches:
* There are 12 inches in 1 foot.
* Divide the total inches (60.7) by 12 inches/foot: 60.7 inches / 12 inches/foot = 5.06 feet
* The whole number (5) represents the number of feet.
* Multiply the decimal part (0.06) by 12 to get the remaining inches: 0.06 * 12 = 0.72 inches
Therefore, 154.2 cm is equal to 5 feet and 0.72 inches.
