Decimal Feet vs. Feet and Inches
The result is shown in decimal feet because that form is precise and convenient for calculations. To write a result as feet and inches, keep the whole feet and multiply the remaining decimal part by 12. For example, 1.75 meters is about 5.74147 feet: keep 5 feet, then multiply 0.74147 by 12 to get about 8.9 inches. Do not read 5.74 feet as 5 feet 74 inches.
