61 cm x 457 cm into feet and inches (please don't tell me how because I won't understand it).

[nescio]

unless you want to go to tiny fractions of the nearest inch, it is 2 ft x 15 ft.

I did try googling it and got this which means absolutely nothing to me and my eyes just glaze over looking at it:

The equation is:

180 cm = 180 x 0.3937 inches = 70.86614 inches

70.86614 div 12 = 5 and 70.86614 mod 12 = 10.86614

so 180 cm = 5 feet 10.86614 inches

Thank you nescio, that's near enough.

This link converts centimetres to feet and inches.

Just divide both by 30 to get 2 x 15 rounded(15¼).
for info 61x457 = 27877cm² which is 4321in² which is 30ft²

Did, "(please don't tell me how because I won't understand it)" pass you by?

[Old_Geezer]

There's an app for that.

"Just divide both by 30" - how would anyone know that? Why not divide it by 40 or 60 or 90? Or any random number?

[THECORBYLOON]

I was thinking it would have helped if TORATORATORA had explained.

It's because a foot is near enough 30cm so if you divide the centimetres by 30, that gives the number of feet.

Lankeela://"Just divide both by 30" - how would anyone know that?"// - err because there are 30 centimetres in a foot, do you have a ruler? Have a look at it!

[ToraToraTora]

You always seem angry on these threads lankeela, why is that? We are just trying to help, yes I know you are not interested in knowledge, I suppose I just hope that a small amount might inspire you to want more.

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, if your ruler shows a foot equals thirty centimetres, I suggest you spend some money on a more accurate ruler...

[brainiac]

A foot is 30.48 centimetres - so TTT is correct

[THECORBYLOON]

"We are just trying to help"

Do you really think your previous comment, ending with an exclamation mark, is an example of, "help"?

[ToraToraTora]

lanks: Take no notice of TCL he's just nitpicking as usual. there are just over 30cm in a foot, 30cm is generally accepted as close approximation of a foot, when he himself points out at 12:01. I guess the urge to nitpick overrides all other processes.

[THECORBYLOON]

Something that is a foot in width would not fit in a space that is 30cm wide, would it?

[Old_Geezer]

It will if you have a hammer.

[Peter Pedant]

google
into the bar at the top
type in 65 cm in feet

[lankeela]

OG wish I had a second 'best answer'!
