How to Convert Centimeters to Feet+Inches

To convert a measurement from centimeters (cm) to feet and inches, you can use the following steps:

  1. Divide the number of centimeters by 30.48 (the length of 1 foot) to get the number of feet.
  2. Take the remaining decimal portion of the result and multiply it by 12 (1 inch = 2.54 cm, which is 12 parts of 1 foot) to get the number of inches.

For example:

  1. Conversion from 150 cm to feet and inches:
    • Step 1: 150 cm / 30.48 = 4.92 feet
    • Step 2: The decimal portion of 4.92 is 0.92, and 0.92 × 12 = 11.04 inches
    • Therefore, 150 cm is equal to 4 feet and 11 inches.
  2. Conversion from 250 cm to feet and inches:
    • Step 1: 250 cm / 30.48 = 8.20 feet
    • Step 2: The decimal portion of 8.20 is 0.20, and 0.20 × 12 = 2.40 inches (rounded to 2 inches)
    • Therefore, 250 cm is equal to 8 feet and 2 inches.

Remember, the conversion factor of 30.48 is used because 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. You then divide the remaining amount by 12 because 1 inch is one twelfth (2.54 cm) of 1 foot (30.48 cm).
