take the inches part and divide it by 12, then replace the foot with a decimal.

that is 5.41666666 feet.

5' 6" is

6/12 = .5

so 5' 6" is 5.5 feet tall.

Actually dude below, 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. which actually makes 5'5" equal to 167.64 centimeters

12 inches times 2.54 cm = 30.48

30.48 cm in 1 foot times 5.5 feet = 167.64

If what you have write is 5feet and 5inches, then there's a simple answer for you:

each inch is equal to 2.5cm

each foot is equal to 30cm

so 5feet = 5 * 30 = 150cm

5inches = 5 * 2.5 = 12.5cm

then 5'5" = (5*30) + (5*2.5) = 150 + 12.5 = 162.5

Is the answer supposed to be in feet or inches? For feet 5 inches equals .41666 inches (5 divided by 12 = .4166666). So the proper answer is 5.4166 feet. For inches 5 feet equals 60 inches so 60 + .4166 = 60.4166 inches.
