Answer key: Height worksheet

1. Height in feet and inches: 5 ft 10.9 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{180}{2.54}$ $= 70.8661 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $70.8661 in$ $= 5 \times 12 + 10.9$ $= 5 ft 10.9 in$
2. Height in centimeters: 203.2 cm
1. Turn the height into inches: 12 inches per foot, plus the extra inches
  $6 \times 12 + 8$ $= 80 in$
2. Multiply by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $80 \times 2.54$ $= 203.2 cm$
3. For meters, divide the centimeters by 100
  $\frac{203.2}{100}$ $= 2.032 m$
4. So that is the whole height in centimeters
  $6 ft 8 in$ $= 203.2 cm$
3. Height in centimeters: 142.24 cm
1. Turn the height into inches: 12 inches per foot, plus the extra inches
  $4 \times 12 + 8$ $= 56 in$
2. Multiply by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $56 \times 2.54$ $= 142.24 cm$
3. For meters, divide the centimeters by 100
  $\frac{142.24}{100}$ $= 1.4224 m$
4. So that is the whole height in centimeters
  $4 ft 8 in$ $= 142.24 cm$
4. Height in centimeters: 180.34 cm
1. Turn the height into inches: 12 inches per foot, plus the extra inches
  $5 \times 12 + 11$ $= 71 in$
2. Multiply by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $71 \times 2.54$ $= 180.34 cm$
3. For meters, divide the centimeters by 100
  $\frac{180.34}{100}$ $= 1.8034 m$
4. So that is the whole height in centimeters
  $5 ft 11 in$ $= 180.34 cm$
5. Height in feet and inches: 7 ft 6.6 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{230}{2.54}$ $= 90.5512 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $90.5512 in$ $= 7 \times 12 + 6.6$ $= 7 ft 6.6 in$
6. Height in feet and inches: 4 ft 7.1 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{140}{2.54}$ $= 55.1181 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $55.1181 in$ $= 4 \times 12 + 7.1$ $= 4 ft 7.1 in$
7. Height in centimeters: 175.26 cm
1. Turn the height into inches: 12 inches per foot, plus the extra inches
  $5 \times 12 + 9$ $= 69 in$
2. Multiply by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $69 \times 2.54$ $= 175.26 cm$
3. For meters, divide the centimeters by 100
  $\frac{175.26}{100}$ $= 1.7526 m$
4. So that is the whole height in centimeters
  $5 ft 9 in$ $= 175.26 cm$
8. Height in feet and inches: 8 ft 2.4 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{250}{2.54}$ $= 98.4252 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $98.4252 in$ $= 8 \times 12 + 2.4$ $= 8 ft 2.4 in$
9. Height in feet and inches: 4 ft 9.1 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{145}{2.54}$ $= 57.0866 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $57.0866 in$ $= 4 \times 12 + 9.1$ $= 4 ft 9.1 in$
10. Height in feet and inches: 7 ft 2.6 in
1. Divide by 2.54, the exact number of centimeters in an inch
  $\frac{220}{2.54}$ $= 86.6142 in$
2. Divide the inches by 12 to get whole feet. Whatever is left over is the inches
  $86.6142 in$ $= 7 \times 12 + 2.6$ $= 7 ft 2.6 in$
