Tips

Notation: 5′ 7″ means 5 feet 7 inches. A single prime (′) marks feet and a double prime (″) marks inches.
Do not type 5.7 for 5 ft 7 in: 5.7 ft is 5 ft 8.4 in, because the decimal part is tenths of a foot, not inches.
Rounding: most forms round to the nearest whole centimeter, so a 0.5 cm difference rarely matters for height.
