The best path to find the number of centimeters in 1 foot is:

feet to inches to centimeters

Here's the reasoning:

  1. Convert feet to inches: Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you would first convert 1 foot to inches (1 foot = 12 inches).
  2. Convert inches to centimeters: Then, you can convert inches to centimeters by using the conversion factor (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters).

So, the complete conversion would be: 1 foot = 12 inches × 2.54 centimeters/inch = 30.48 centimeters.

Therefore, the correct response is feet to inches to centimeters.
