Hi to all.
Could anyone explain me how does it work measures with feet and inches? I have never been able to understand it.
What is taller 5'10 or 6?.
Is there 5'11? 5'12?...When does it end and become 6?

For the US /English system, 12 inches = 1 f00t, so there is 5'10 5'11, then 6' (=5'12).
1 foot approx. equal to 30.5 cm

1 in = 2.54 cm or ≈0.083 ft (= 1/12 ft)
1 ft ≈ 30.48 cm or ≈0.3048 m (= 12 in)
5 ft = 60 in (≈152 cm), 6 ft = 72 in (≈183 cm), 7 ft = 84 in (≈213 cm), 8 ft = 96 in (≈244 cm), 9 ft = 108 in (≈274 cm)​

1 cm ≈ 0.3937 in or 0.0328 ft (= 1/100 m)
1 m ≈ 39.3701 in or 3.2808 ft (= 100 cm)
1 m ≈ 3.281 ft (≈3'3") , 2 m ≈ 6.562 ft (≈ 6'6.74"), 3 m ≈ 9.843 ft (≈ 9'10")

There are 12 inches in a foot. One inch equals approx. 2.54 cm. As numbers rise, 6 feet is obviously taller than 5'10. After 5'11 is 6 feet. 5'12 does not exist as it is equal to 6 feet. The same goes for 3'12=4 ft, 4'12=5 ft, etc.
