Respuesta :

Answer:Joan's height is 127 centimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

 Step 1

Joan  is  4 feet 2 inches tall and we want to change to centimeters .

we first change her height to inches

1 Foot = 12 Inches

Therefore  4 Feet = 4 x 12 = 48 inches

Total height in inches =48 inches + 2 Inches = 50 inches

Step 2 --Now, we have gotten her height in inches, we can now  change  to centimetres.

We have that

 1  inch =2.54 centimeters

50inches = 50 x 2.54 cm

=127 centmeters.

Joan's height is 127 centimetres
