and the how, first you work out how many inches you've got in total, there are 12 inches to every ft. so 5 x 12 is 60, add the remaining inches - 8.5 to equal 68.5 and then
68.5 inches multiplied by 2.54 = 174 centimeters.

1 foot = 12 inches
5 feet = 5 × 12 = 60 inches
60 inches + 8.5 inches = 68.5 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
5 feet,eight and a half inches
= 68.5 × 2.54 = 173.99 cms

We will convert feet and inches separately.
One foot is approx 30.5 cm, so 5 feet is 152.5 cm
One inch is approx 2.5 cm, so 8.5 inches is 21.25 cm.
Add 152.5 and 21.25, and we find that 5 feet eight and a half inches is 173.75 cm.

2.54 centimeters = 1 inch
12 inches = 1 ft
5 feet = 12 x 5 = 60 inches = 60 x 2.54 = 152.4 centimeters
8.5 inches = 8.5 x 2.54 = 21.59 centimeters
therefore,
5ft, 8.5inches = 152.4 + 21.59 = 173.99 centimeters

1 inch = 2.54 centimeter
= 2.54([5 ft * 12] + 8.5 in)
= 2.54(60 in + 8.5 in)
= 2.54 * 68.5 in
= 173.99 cm
Answer: 5 ft 8.5 in is equal to 173.99 cm.
