Converting feet and inches to centimeters is a common task, especially when dealing with measurements in different systems. To find out how many centimeters tall someone who is 4 feet 11 inches is, you can use the conversion factor of 2.54 centimeters per inch. First, convert the feet to inches (4 feet x 12 inches/foot = 48 inches), then add the remaining inches (48 inches + 11 inches = 59 inches). Finally, multiply the total inches by the conversion factor (59 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 149.86 cm). Therefore, 4 feet 11 inches is approximately equal to 149.86 centimeters.
