Height Conversion Formulas
Master these key formulas for converting between height units:
• inches = (feet × 12) + inches
• Example: 5'10" = (5 × 12) + 10 = 70 inches
Inches → Feet + Inches:
• feet = inches ÷ 12 (whole number)
• remaining inches = inches mod 12
• Example: 70" = 5 feet, 10 inches (70÷12=5r10)
CM ↔ Inches:
• inches = cm ÷ 2.54
• cm = inches × 2.54
• Example: 175 cm ÷ 2.54 = 68.9 inches
Key facts: 1 foot = 12 inches | 1 inch = 2.54 cm | 1 meter = 39.37 inches
