A quick, exact answer plus the working, so you can check it or do the next one yourself.
How the conversion works
An inch is defined as exactly 2.54 centimetres, so the conversion is exact rather than an approximation.
Divide by 2.54 to get inches: 148 ÷ 2.54 = 58.2677 inches.
Then split that into feet and inches: 58.2677 ÷ 12 = 4 whole feet, with 10.27 inches left over.
So 148 cm = 4 ft 10.3 in.
