I think it is fair to say 5 and 3/4 inches.

Answer:

5 feet + 11 inches

Explanation:

given data

tall = 5.89 feet  =

1 feet = 12 inches

solution

we will convert given 5.89 feet as

5.89 feet = 5 feet + 0.89 feet  .............1

so now we need convert  0.89 feet  into inch

so we know

[tex]\frac{1}{12} =\frac{0.89}{a}[/tex]  

solve we get a

a = 0.89 × 12

a = 10.68 inches

so from equation 1

5.89 feet = 5 feet + 10.68 inches

5.89 feet =  5 feet + 11 inches
