Ahigh jump is 6 feet, 10 1/4 inches. what is the high jump in meters? its 2.09 but i need someone to show me how i would explain it.

A high jump is 6 feet and 10 1/4 inches.

1 meter = 3.28084 feet
1 meter = 39.3701 inches

6 feet x     1 meter     = 6 meter  = 1.82879 meters
               3.28084 ft       3.28084

10 1/4 inches ⇒ ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4 inches

41 inches x       1 meter           =       41 meter   =  41 meter    = 0.2603 meters 
      4               39.3701 inches       4 * 39.3701       157.4804

       1.82879 meters        * this was the equivalent of 6 feet
   +  0.26030 meters        * equivalent of 10 1/4 inches
        2.08909 meters 

rounded to 2.09 meters.

The correct answer is d
