At 5 ft 2 inches, I am 1.57 metres
correct
1 m 71 converts to 5 ft 6 inches
No! 1m 71 converts to just over 5 ft 7 inches
2.5400000 cm = 1 inch (exactly)
Convert the feet and inches to inches
Your 5' 2" = 60 inches plus 2 inches = 62.
62 x 2.54 = 157.48 cm = 1.5748 m
Agnes' 171 cm divided by 2.54 = 67.322834645669 - say 67 and a bit -
inches.
the 60 inches is 5 feet, so she's 5 ft 7 and a bit inches.

Only thing is you have to divide your "spare" inches by 12 to get the
decimal of feet, or you could convert your feet to inches.
