Pick inches or feet to measure the length of objects. Warm up with a Mystery Math Mistake to add 2 two-digit numbers. Explore how many inches there are in a foot.

And tables, such as the one below, often show height in feet (ft) and inches (in), as well as in centimeters (cm). To help with conversion, note that 1 ft = 12 in, or 30.48 cm.

Enter the decimal measurement in cell A1 of Microsoft Excel. As an example, enter "5.792" in cell A1. Enter "=RoundDown(A1,0)" in cell B1 to extract the number of feet.

A person who’s 5 feet, 6 inches tall is 66 inches. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters (cm). So, to make the conversion, simply multiply your height in inches by 2.54 to get your height in centimeters.
