How height conversion works

An inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a foot is 12 inches (30.48 cm). To go from feet and inches to centimeters, turn everything into inches and multiply by 2.54. To go the other way, divide by 2.54, then split the inches into feet and inches. Heights are normally rounded to the nearest inch or centimeter.
