Hint:
1) How many inches in 6 feet? Add 2 inches to get your total inches
2) How many inches in a meter? 39.3701 exactly. Divide your total inches by 39.3701 to get your meters.

Not 39.3701 exactly.
1 inch = exactly 2.54 cm
1 cm = 1/2.54 inch =~ 0.3937007874 inch
---------
39.37 is close, but not exact.
