    The answer is 65.3 inches tall

    Explanation:

    To know the heigh of Sammy in inches it is necessary to convert the 5 feet to inches and add this number to 5.3 inches as the statement mentions “Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall”. Additionally, it is known each foot is equal to 12 inches ( 1 foot = 12 inches). According to this, the simplest method to convert feet to inches is to multiply the feet given by 12. The process is shown below:

    1 foot  = 12 inches

    feet to inches =  number of feet x 12

    5 feet x 12 = 60 inches

    This means 5 feet is equal to 60 inches. Now, 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches (total height of Sammy in inches)
