Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

if man or a woman is 1 meter and 89 centimeters in height, how many feet and inches does the man or woman measure up to?

1 meter and 89 centimeters
In the SI, one never splits units this way. Either 1.89 m or 189 cm would be correct, 1 meter and 89 centimeters is incorrect.
We'll use 189 cm and note that 2.54 cm = 1 inch exactly,
so 189 cm x 1 inch/2.54 cm = 74.4"
6 feet is 72 inches, so 74.4 - 72 inches = 2.4 inches are leftover. Subtracting 2", 0.4" are leftover. Converting that to a fraction, it is about 13/32, although that is probably more precision than warranted, so the person is 6' 2 13/32", but 6' 2 3/8" may be close enough.

To follow the previous posters calculations it would be 160/2.54 (1m60cm divided by 1inch which is 2.54cm) which equals 62.992 inches so 5' 2.99" rounded up would be 5' 3".
Thanks for the help figuring this stuff! I didn't know how to figure it out either until I found this site.
