373.25 / 0.3048 = 1224.573491
Round down the 1224.573491 = 1224 feet

Get the result of inches

1224.573491 - 1224 feet = 0.573491
0.573491 x 12 = 6.881892
Round down the 6.881892 = 6 inches

Get the result of fractions of an inch

6.881892 - 6 = 0.881892
0.881892 x 32 = = 28.22 / 32 (or around 28/32 = 14/16 = 7/8)

The final result would be 1224 feet, 6 inches and 7/8 (simplified)

Convert feet to meters

(Number of feet + ((number of inches + number of fraction of inches)/12)) x 0.3048 = Number of meters

Exemple

John his 5 feet, 8 inches and 1/2 tall and need to get his height in meters.

(5 + ((8 + 1/2)/12)) x 0.3048 = Number of meters
(5 + 0.70833333) x 0.3048 = Number of meters
5.70833333 x 0.3048 = 1.7399 meters or 1.74 meters.
