Hi there! Let me just get you started on this problem...

There are 2.54 cm to one inch. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 
there are 12 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 30.48 centimeters in a foot.

There are 100 centimeters in a 
meter, so there are 100 centimeters/ 2.54 cm/inch = 39 47/127 inches 
in a meter.

Now can you tell ME how many feet and inches there are in 1.84 meters?
Let us know if you need more help!
