whats my height in meters?

my height is 5'3"

63 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 160.0 cm
= 1.600 meters

You learn to do these by dimensional analysis.
We know there are 39.37 inches in 1 meter. First, convert your height to inches so we are dealing with one item instead of feet AND inches.
We know there are 12 inches in 1 foot so the factor is either 12 in/1 ft OR 1 ft/12 in. We use the number we have (that is 5 feet) and multiply by the one of the factors. Which one? The one which cancels the unit we don't want and keeps the unit we want. Like so,
5 feet x (12 in/1 ft) = 60 inches.
Notice that the feet in the numerator cancels with ft in the denominator. That leaves in (inches) as the unit and that is what we wanted. Now we add the 3 inches to it to make 60 + 3 = 63 inches.
Now, knowing you have 39.37 inches/meter, convert inches to meters. Someone will check your work if you want to post it.

To convert your height from feet and inches to meters, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert feet to inches: Multiply the number of feet (in this case, 5 feet) by 12 (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot).

5 feet x 12 inches/foot = 60 inches

2. Add the remaining inches (in this case, 3 inches) to the total number of inches.

60 inches + 3 inches = 63 inches

3. Convert inches to meters: Divide the total number of inches (63 inches) by 39.37 (since there are 39.37 inches in 1 meter).

63 inches / 39.37 inches/meter = 1.600 meters

Therefore, your height of 5'3" is approximately 1.600 meters.

Remember, dimensional analysis is a useful method for converting between different units of measurement. Breaking down the conversion into smaller steps makes it easier to follow and minimizes errors.
