Total centimeters are 100 × meters plus the leftover centimeters. 1 m and 75 cm is 175.0 cm, 1.75 m, 5.74 ft, and 68.9 in.

The reverse direction is the feet and inches calculator.

Decimal meters stay at two places

1 m 75 cm is 1.75 m. Feet use two decimals and inches use one, so the inch reading is 68.9 rather than a long quotient.

Leftover centimeters

The centimeters field is the part under one meter. 1 m and 75 cm is not 1.75 entered in both boxes.

Worked example: 1 m 75 cm

Meters 1, centimeters 75. Results: 175.0 cm, 1.75 m, 5.74 ft, 68.9 in.

\[ L = 100\times 1 + 75 = 175\ \mathrm{cm} \]
