1 answer

To convert Eve's height to centimeters, we first need to express her height entirely in inches, and then convert that to centimeters.

Eve's height is 5 feet 4 inches.

  1. First, convert feet to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot: \[ 5 \text{ feet} = 5 \times 12 = 60 \text{ inches} \]

  2. Now, add the 4 inches: \[ \text{Total height in inches} = 60 \text{ inches} + 4 \text{ inches} = 64 \text{ inches} \]

  3. Next, convert inches to centimeters using the conversion factor (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters): \[ \text{Height in centimeters} = 64 \text{ inches} \times 2.54 \text{ cm/inch} \] \[ = 162.56 \text{ cm} \]

Therefore, Eve's height in centimeters is approximately 162.56 cm.
