1 inches = 0.0254 meters
1 feet = 0.3048 meters
length in m = feet*0.3048 + inches*0.0254

Assume a height of 5ft 4 ins
1inch = 2.54 cm
5 ft 4 ins = 64 ins = 64 x 2.54 cm = 162.6 cm = 1.626 m = 1.63 m to 2 decimal places
Hope this example is of use.

1 in = 2.54 cm
1 m = 100 cm
so, 1 in = 0.0254 m
so, change the ft and in. to just in. 1 ft = 12 in. then, change the inches to metres.

Multiply the number of feet by 12 and add the number of inches then divide the total number of inches by 39.37 to get the value in metres.

30.48 cm = 1ft.
2.54 cm = 1 inch.
Multiply the feet by 30.48. Now multiply inches by 2.54. Add answers together. Divide by 100 if you want meters.

To change centimetres into inches, multiply by 0.3937
Centimetres to feet - multiply by 0.03281
inches to centimetres, multiply by 2.54 - so I you are 5ft 6inches, that is 66 inches - multiply by 2.54 that is 1.6764 or 1.68 metres.
