5'3" is 63 inches. (One foot is 12 inches, so 5 feet is 60 inches. Add 3 inches to get 63 inches.)
The official conversion factor between inches and centimeters is 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 63 inches is 63*2.54 = 160.02 cm. Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, dividing by 100 gives you 1.6002 meters.

1 foot = 12 inches
Convert 5 feet 3 inches into inches. That is:
(5 x 12) + 3 = 63 inches
1 inch = 0.0254 meters
By converting 63 inches into meters:
(63 inches)(0.0254 meters/inches)
≈ 1.6002 meters
I hope this helps!

one inch is 2.54 centimeters
5 feet 3 inches is 63 inches
so multiply 63 time 2.54 (this gives the answer in cm)
to change to meters divide by 100 (move the decimal two places to the left)
This is correct to two decimal places.
