How many centimeters are in a foot? Conversion factors: 2.5 cm = 1 inch, and 12 inches = 1 foot. Show all work

Answer 1

To convert foot to centimeters, we need to use both conversion factors given:

1 foot = 12 inches (from 12 inches = 1 foot)
= 12 inches * (2.5 cm/1 inch) (using the conversion factor 2.5 cm = 1 inch)
= 30 cm

Therefore, there are 30 centimeters in a foot.
