A handy calculation for converting metric sizes into feet:

metric x 1.0936 x 3 = imperial

i.e. 4(4m) x 1.0936 x 3 = 13.12 (13'1")

Remember, a calculator operates in base 10 calculations, Imperial sizes are base 12.  So a good guide to remember follows:

calculator display after conversion Actual Amount in feet & inches
2.25 2 feet 3 inches
2.50 2 feet 6 inches
2.75 2 feet 9 inches
3.00 3 feet 0 inches
3.25 3 feet 3 inches

And so on, and so on
