To convert the height from centimeters to inches, you can use the conversion factor where 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters.
First, convert 152 centimeters to inches:
\[ \text{Inches} = \frac{152 \text{ cm}}{2.54 \text{ cm/inch}} \approx 59.84 \text{ inches} \]
Now, to convert inches to feet, divide by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot):
\[ \text{Feet} = \frac{59.84 \text{ inches}}{12 \text{ inches/foot}} \approx 4.99 \text{ feet} \]
This means the height of the patient is approximately 5 feet tall (60 inches).
Therefore, the correct response is:
about 5 feet tall (60 inches).
