cm = (feet x 12 + inches) x 2.54
As a height, 152.4 cm is 22.9 cm shorter than the average US adult man (≈175.3 cm) and 8.9 cm shorter than the average US adult woman (≈161.3 cm), based on CDC NHANES 2015–2018 averages.
Height forms in the US and UK usually want whole feet plus inches, rounded to the nearest inch — use the rounded value above for those.

|---|---|
| 4′8″ (4 feet 8 inches) in cm | 4′8″ = 142.24 cm |
| 4′9″ (4 feet 9 inches) in cm | 4′9″ = 144.78 cm |
| 4′10″ (4 feet 10 inches) in cm | 4′10″ = 147.32 cm |
| 4′11″ (4 feet 11 inches) in cm | 4′11″ = 149.86 cm |
| 5′0″ (5 feet 0 inches) in cm | 5′0″ = 152.4 cm |
| 5′1″ (5 feet 1 inch) in cm | 5′1″ = 154.94 cm |
| 5′2″ (5 feet 2 inches) in cm | 5′2″ = 157.48 cm |
| 5′3″ (5 feet 3 inches) in cm | 5′3″ = 160.02 cm |
| 5′4″ (5 feet 4 inches) in cm | 5′4″ = 162.56 cm |
| 5′5″ (5 feet 5 inches) in cm | 5′5″ = 165.1 cm |
| 5′6″ (5 feet 6 inches) in cm | 5′6″ = 167.64 cm |

5′0″ = 152.4 cm (about 152 cm (1.524 m)).
Convert to inches: 5 × 12 + 0 = 60 in. Multiply by 2.54: 60 × 2.54 = 152.4 cm. Result: 5′0″ = 152.4 cm, or 1.524 m.
