To convert 59.5 cm to feet and inches, we will follow a two-step procedure as shown below:
First, convert 59.5 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

Now, take the whole part of the feet value apart and convert the decimal part of the feet value to inches.
Thus, separating 1.9521 feet to whole and decimal parts, we get 1 foot + 0.9521 foot.
Now, let’s convert the decimal part of the feet value (0.9521) to inches.

This way, we get the conversion result of 59.5 cm to feet and inches as 1 foot and 11.4252 inches, or 1'11" (rounded to the nearest inch).
