How much is 150 cm in ft?

Answer 1

30.48 cm = 1 ft

1 ft = 12 in

⇒ 150 cm = 150 ÷ 30.48 ft

≈ 4.921 ft

= 4 ft + 0.921 x 12 in

≈ 4 ft 11 in

Another method of thinking about the problem:

Start with a measure you know such as 2.54 cm = 1 inch.

Then construct a ratio that converts to the units in question.

2.54 cm /1 in. x 12 in / 1 ft. The idea is to get the units you don't want to cancel out.

1.54 x 12 cm / ft = 30.48 cm per ft.

150 cm / (30.48 cm/ft) = 4.92 feet.
