The conversion rate from centimetres to feet is 0.0328084.

(multiply the cm by 0.0328084 to get your feet)

137 x 0.0328084 = 4.495 feet

4 feet with 0.495 left over

0.495 x 12 = 5.94 inches

Therefore, the actual conversion shows that 137 cm is about 4 feet 6 inches.

---- However, this is the way that I would approximate it quickly so that I wouldn't have to remember the exact conversion rate.

There are about 30 cm in one foot,

(I am using the approximation from a standard 30cm long ruler which is approximately 12 inches)

Therefore 137cm/30cm will give you the measurement in feet

137/30 = 4.567 feet

Therefore in 137 cm there are 4 feet, and 0.567 of a foot.

there are 12 inches in a foot, so 0.567 x 12 will give us the measurement in inches.

0.567 x 12 = 6.8 inches

From this, you can say that 137cm is about 4 foot 7 inches.

It is not as precise to answer it such, but if you don't need to be as accurate, then it is fine to do so.
