First, you should know that 1 inch=2.54 cm, and 1 foot=12 inches.
Then calculate the equivalent of 160 cm in inches as follows:
[(160cm)(1inch)/2.54cm]. The "cm" will cancel out leaving "inch". Now calculate the remaining figures as follows:
160inch/2.54=62.99inches
Next step, convert inches to feet in the same way as above:
62.99inches(1foot)/12inches.
The "inches" will cancel out, leaving "foot" or "feet". Now calculate the remaining figures as follows:
62.99feet/12=
5.249feet.
The solution will teach you firstly that to convert from one unit of measurement to another unit of measurement, you have to know your conversion tables. In this case cm to inch, and inch to feet. Secondly you have to know that even units of measurements can cancel out as shown above. To convert cm to inches, see to it that the cm will be at the denominator, so that it will cancel out with the one at the numerator. If you follow the method suggested by the above solution, not much thinking is needed. Just put the unit you want cancelled at the denominator and plug in the necessary conversion figures.

160 centimeters is 1.6 meters. A meter is 39.37 inches, roughly 40 inches, so 1.6 meters is roughlly 64 inches.
A more precise answer is 62.9921 inches
You should practice both estimation and conversions. The estimations will allow you to check your conversions.

5.25 feet..
Okay. 160 cm * (1 in / 2.54 cm) * (1 ft / 12 in) = 5.25 feet.
Use dimensional analysis.. you'll see that the units cancel.
Have a lovely day!

2.54 cm = 1 in
12 in = 1 ft
You can figure it out from there.
160 cm / 2.54 cm-per-in = 63 in
63 in / 12 in-per-ft = 5.25 ft
So, 5.25 ft. :) Or, if you prefer, 5 feet 3 inches.
