Height Weight Conversion


1. **State the problem:** Convert height from feet and inches to meters, and weight from pounds to kilograms. 2. **Convert height:** The player is 6 ft 10 1/5 in tall. First, convert inches fraction to decimal: 1/5 in = 0.2 in. 3. Total inches in height: 6 ft = 6 \times 12 = 72 in. 4. Total height in inches: $$72 + 10 + 0.2 = 82.2 \text{ in}$$ 5. Convert inches to centimeters: 1 in = 2.54 cm. So, $$82.2 \times 2.54 = 208.788 \text{ cm}$$ 6. Convert cm to meters: 100 cm = 1 m, so $$208.788 \div 100 = 2.08788 \text{ m}$$ 7. **Convert weight:** Weight is 212 lb. 8.
