your question is not clear as you have stated 5"3
the (") indicates inches but you perhaps mean feet and you do not say what the 3 is. It could be a decimal of the 5 or it could mean 3 inches.
assuming the question should read 5' 3" which means
five foot three inches then the answer is 63 inches as their are 12 inches in a foot multiplied by 5 and then add the 3

5' 3" is just 5 feet + 3 inches. Since you already know that 5 feet is 60 inches, you can plug that in for the 5 feet part, and you get:
60 inches + 3 inches, which is 63 inches.

1 foot = 12 inches
5' = 5x12 inches = 60 inches + 3 inches = 63 inches

This 5"3 in the old English conventional system and it stands for : 5feet 3 inches
! Foot= 12 inches
So 5feet 3 inches= 60+3 = 63 inches.
The confusion arises because one needs to understand that" denotes foot/ feet. For the number that follows, and without units, it is understood to mean inches.

it is really 5'3". What that means is 5 feet 3 inches. So if 5 feet is 60 inches, then 5 feet 3 inches is 63 inches. (') means feet. (") means inches.

63 inches. but, feet are normally identified with a single line not a double inches are identified with a double line. I am assuming you meant to write 5'3" If you typed it correctly, then 5"3 in would be just over 5 inches.
