1. Convert centimeters to inches:
* There are 2.54 centimeters in every inch.
* Divide 179 cm by 2.54 cm/inch: 179 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 70.47 inches
2. Separate feet from inches:
* There are 12 inches in every foot.
* Divide the total inches by 12: 70.47 inches / 12 inches/foot = 5.87 feet
* The whole number (5) represents the number of feet.
* Multiply the decimal part (0.87) by 12 to find the remaining inches: 0.87 * 12 inches/foot = 10.44 inches
Therefore, 179 cm is approximately 5 feet and 10.44 inches.
