customary and metric unit equivalents
length\tweight/mass\tcapacity
1 m ≈ 3.28 ft\t1 oz ≈ 28.35 g\t1 gal ≈ 3.79 l
1 m ≈ 39.37 in.\t1 kg ≈ 2.20 lb\t1 qt ≈ 0.95 l
1 in. = 2.54 cm\t1 metric ton (t) ≈ 1.102 t
1 mi ≈ 1.61 km\t\t

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \text{ in.} = 2.54 \text{ cm} \), so to convert centimeters to inches, we use the formula \( \text{inches} = \frac{\text{centimeters}}{2.54} \).

Step2: Substitute the value

Sarah's height is 148 centimeters. Substitute into the formula: \( \text{inches} = \frac{148}{2.54} \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\( \frac{148}{2.54} \approx 58.27 \). Rounding to the nearest whole number (assuming "nearest" means nearest whole number, though the problem says "neares" which is likely a typo for "nearest"), we get 58.

Answer:

58 inches (rounded to the nearest whole number)
