Jerome is 6 feet 4 inches tall. To the nearest unit , what is his height in centimeters?
1 inch = 2.54 cm
76 * 2.54 = ?
6'4" = 76"
1" = 2.54 cm
76" * 2.54 = ?
To convert Jerome's height from feet and inches to centimeters, we need to follow these steps:
1. Convert feet to inches by multiplying 6 (feet) by 12 (inches per foot), which gives us 72 inches.
2. Add the number of inches. In this case, Jerome's height is 6 feet 4 inches, so we add an additional 4 inches to the 72 inches we obtained in the previous step. This yields a total of 76 inches.
Now, to convert inches to centimeters, we can use the conversion factor that 1 inch is approximately equal to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, to find Jerome's height in centimeters, we multiply the total inches (76) by the conversion factor (2.54):
76 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 193.04 centimeters
Rounding this value to the nearest unit, we find that Jerome's height is approximately 193 centimeters.
