Jeff is 5 feet tall.
To find out how many feet tall Jeff is, we can use the given ratio of 1 foot to 30.48 centimeters.
First, we'll convert Jeff's height from centimeters to feet:

Therefore, Jeff is approximately 5 feet tall.
To find out how many feet tall Jeff is, you can use the given ratio of 1 foot to 30.48 centimeters.
To convert centimeters to feet, you need to divide the height in centimeters by the ratio. Let's calculate it step by step:
