Answer 1

Answer: 1.4224 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that , Elena is 56 inches tall.

Also , it is given that 100 inches = 254 centimeters

Then, by the UNITARY METHOD,

one inch = $\dfrac{254}{100}$ centimeters

⇒ one inch =2.54 centimeters

Now, the height of Elena = 56 inches

Then, the height of Elena in centimeters = $56\times2.54$

The height of Elena in centimeters =$142.24\text{ centimeters}$

Also, 1 meter = 100 centimeters

Then 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter

The height of Elena in meters = $142.24\times0.01$

The height of Elena in meters =1.4224 meters
