How the conversion works
A foot is 12 inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm. So 4 ft 10 in is 4 × 12 + 10 = 58 inches, and 58 × 2.54 = 147.32 cm. Nothing is rounded: because the inch is defined as 2.54 cm, a height in whole or half inches always comes out in centimeters with two decimals at most.
Asked the other way round: How tall is 58 inches? Rounded to the nearest centimeter: How tall is 147 cm in feet?
