To convert 45 cm to feet and inches, we will follow a two-step procedure as shown below:
First, convert 45 cm to feet:
There are 30.48 cm in a foot. We’ll use the following conversion formula to convert cm to feet.
feet = number of cm ÷ 30.48
thus, 45 cm = (45 ÷ 30.48) feet

Thus, separating 1.47638 feet to whole and decimal parts, we get 1 foot + 0.47638 foot.
Now, let’s convert the decimal part of the feet value (0.47638) to inches.
