Transcript/notes
The formula to convert feet to centimeters is, the number of centimeters equals, the number of feet times 30.48, as there are 30.48 centimeters to 1 foot.
As an example, if something measures 8 feet, how many centimeters is it?
Using the formula, we have the number of centimeters equals, 8 times 30.48, which calculates to 243.84 centimeters.
As another example, if we have something that measures 5 feet 9 inches, how many centimeters is it?
We first have to convert the inches to feet, and we do this by dividing the number of inches by 12, as there are 12 inches to 1 foot. So, 9 divided by 12 equals .75. Now using the formula we have the number of centimeters equals, 5.75 times 30.48, which calculates to 175.26 centimeters.
