Answer 1

To convert the height of 152 centimeters to feet and inches, you can use the conversion factor where 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.

1. First, convert centimeters to inches:
\[
\text{Inches} = \frac{152}{2.54} \approx 59.84 \text{ inches}
\]

2. Next, convert inches to feet:
\[
\text{Feet} = \frac{59.84}{12} \approx 4.99 \text{ feet}
\]

This means the height is about 5 feet tall (approximately 60 inches).

So, the correct response is:
**about 5 feet tall (60 inches)**.
