convert feet and inches to meters

To convert feet and inches to meters, you can use the following steps:

1. First, convert the feet to inches by multiplying the number of feet by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).
2. Add the number of inches to the result from step 1 to get the total number of inches.
3. To convert inches to meters, divide the total number of inches by 39.37 (since there are 39.37 inches in a meter).

For example, let’s say you have a height of 5 feet 8 inches:

1. 5 feet x 12 = 60 inches
2. 60 inches + 8 inches = 68 inches
3. 68 inches / 39.37 = 1.7272 meters

So, a height of 5 feet 8 inches is approximately 1.7272 meters.
