How to Convert Centimeters to Feet

Example: How many feet are equivalent to 72.36 centimeters?


As;

1 centimeters = 0.032808 feet

72.36 centimeters = Y feet

Y equals 72.36 times 0.032808 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 72.36 * 0.032808 / 1 = 2.37398688 feet

Answer is: 2.37398688 feet are equivalent to 72.36 centimeters.
