Try googling "173cm to feet"
Real answer is 5 ft 8

I guess they don't know when to use modulus (%) :D

Whats wrong with it? I get "173 centimeters = 5.67585302 feet" then google ".67585302 feet to inches" and you get ".67585302 feet = 8.11023624 inches".

You asked for it in feet. Why would it give you feet and inches?

Because I saw it several times for fighters' height they google that and get 5.67 and put it as 5'6" in stats :p

Then I think its "they" who is at fault, not google.

yeah not google's fault "they" don't understand the decimal system.

on the other hand I can see people getting confused by it, because normally people don't say x.x feet, so perhaps from a user-friendliness perspective that can be improved.
