Descrizione

Problem Statement Today, length converter shows decimal values for feet, while in practice, feet + inches are oftentimes used.

Evidence or User Insights Observation of current behavior and customary use in U.S. and U.K. Details on foot (unit).

Proposal When converting to feet, in addition to showing the decimal conversion, also include "feet + inches", which is more commonly used when working in this unit. For example, when converting 230cm, Calculator shows 7.545932 feet. It would be more useful if it would also show 7' 6.55" (feet with inches).

Possibly dependent on #379.

Goals

  • Additionally show the "feet and inches" conversion when working with feet in length converter.

Non-Goals

  • Remove decimal representation of values in feet
