How it works

ft = cm ÷ 30.48

One foot is exactly 30.48 centimeters, so dividing by 30.48 gives you feet as a decimal. The whole number is your feet. Multiply what's left over by 12 to turn it into inches.

  1. Divide by 30.48 to get feet 155 ÷ 30.48 = 5.085 ft
  2. Keep the whole feet round down 5.085 → 5 ft
  3. Turn the leftover into inches (5.085 − 5) × 12 = 1.02 in
Picture it

5 full feet, plus 0.09 of the next foot (1.02 in)
