How the conversion works

A foot is 12 inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm. So 5 feet is 5 × 12 = 60 inches, and 60 × 2.54 = 152.4 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 60 inches? Rounded to the nearest centimeter: How tall is 152 cm in feet?
