- Read the result as feet plus inches.
- Use the decimal-feet value when a form wants a single number.
Examples

FAQ
- How many feet is 180 cm?
- 180 cm is about 5 feet 10.9 inches, or 5.91 feet as a single decimal number.
- How is the conversion calculated?
- One inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so the height in inches is the centimeters divided by 2.54. Whole feet is that value divided by twelve and rounded down, and the remainder is the leftover inches.
- Why does the inches value have decimals?
- Centimeters rarely land on an exact inch, so the leftover is shown to the nearest fraction of an inch. Round it yourself if a form only accepts whole inches.
