🧮 Conversion Formulas

Feet & Inches to Meters

Formula:

Step 1: total inches = (feet × 12) + inches

Step 2: meters = total inches × 0.0254

Why?

1 foot = 12 inches

1 inch = 0.0254 m (exact)

1 foot = 0.3048 m

Example:

6' 0" = (6 × 12) + 0 = 72 in

72 × 0.0254 = 1.83 meters

Meters to Feet & Inches

Formula:

Step 1: total inches = meters ÷ 0.0254

Step 2: feet = floor(total inches ÷ 12)

Step 3: inches = total inches mod 12

Related:

1 m = 39.3701 inches

1 m = 3.28084 feet

1 m = 100 cm

Example:

1.75 m ÷ 0.0254 = 68.9 in

68.9 ÷ 12 = 5' 8.9"

How to convert feet+inches to meters

1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters:

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 inch is equal to 0.0254 meters:

1 in = 0.0254 m

The distance d in meters (m) is equal to the distance d in feet (ft) times 0.3048 plus the distance d in inches (in) times 0.0254:

d_(m) = d_(ft) × 0.3048 + d_(in) × 0.0254

Example

Convert 2 feet + 3 inches to meters:

d_(m) = 2ft × 0.3048 + 3in × 0.0254 = 0.6858m
