Feet and inches to total inches
There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply the feet by 12 and add the inches:
total inches = feet × 12 + inches
A 5 ft 9 in person is 5 × 12 + 9 = 69 inches tall.
From centimetres
total inches = cm ÷ 2.54, since an inch is defined as
exactly 2.54 centimetres.
Where total inches is useful
Height charts, ergonomic tables, some clothing size systems and a number of clinical formulas take height as a single number of inches rather than a mixed feet-and-inches value, because a single number is much easier to put into an equation or a spreadsheet.
