The correct answer is: $165.1\text{ cm}$

Explanation

This assumes “5 5″ means 5 feet 5 inches (5’5”). Use 1 inch = $2.54\text{ cm}$.

Steps:

  1. Convert feet to inches: $5\text{ ft}=5\times12=60\text{ in}$
  2. Add the extra inches: $60+5=65\text{ in}$
  3. Convert to centimeters: $$65\times2.54=165.1\text{ cm}$$

Therefore, 5’5″ = $165.1\text{ cm}$ (about $165\text{ cm}$ when rounded to the nearest whole centimeter).

If you meant 5.5 feet (decimal feet) instead of 5’5″, then $5.5\text{ ft}=66\text{ in}=66\times2.54=167.64\text{ cm}$.
