A high jump is 6 feet and 10 1/4 inches.

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

1 meter = 39.3701 inches

6 feet x 1 meter = 6 meter = 1.82879 meters

3.28084 ft 3.28084

10 1/4 inches ⇒ ((10*4) + 1) / 4 = 41/4 inches

41 inches x 1 meter = 41 meter = 41 meter = 0.2603 meters

4 39.3701 inches 4 * 39.3701 157.4804

1.82879 meters * this was the equivalent of 6 feet

+ 0.26030 meters * equivalent of 10 1/4 inches

2.08909 meters

rounded to 2.09 meters.
