Answer 1

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)**.
