To convert Jeff's height from centimeters to feet, we can use the given conversion ratio:

1 foot = 30.48 centimeters.

To find out how many feet tall Jeff is, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Height in feet} = \frac{\text{Height in centimeters}}{30.48} \]

Plugging in Jeff's height:

\[ \text{Height in feet} = \frac{183 \text{ cm}}{30.48 \text{ cm/foot}} \approx 6.0039 \text{ feet} \]

Now rounding to the nearest whole number:

Jeff is approximately 6 feet tall.
