Metric results use up to 6 decimal places, with scientific notation for very small nonzero values; feet + inches uses 4 decimal places for inches. Display rounding does not change the calculation.
How it works
Metres = (feet × 12 + inches) × 0.0254. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m; one inch is exactly 2.54 cm. For the reverse conversion, divide metres by 0.0254, then separate whole feet and remaining inches.
