Well we're not going to just write the code for you but I can give you a nudge in the right direction. The formula for converting centimeters to inches is

I = C * .39370078740157477

So, if you enter 47 centimeters then in inches that would be

I = 47 * .39370078740157477

Which would give you 18.50 inches. So we know that 1 foot = 12 inches so to convert 47 inches to feet would look like

(47 * .39370078740157477) / 12

Which would give us 1 foot 6.5 inches

I suspect that request may not be worded correctly.
1 foot = 12 inches. 1 inch = 2.54 cm 12 inches = 12 * 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm

Conversely, 30.48 cm = 1 foot.
Therefore 1 cm = 1 foot/30.48 which means 1 cm = .0328083 feet.

Thanks guys

but mathematically, (47 * .39370078740157477) / 12 doesn't equal = 1.65 or how do you come up with 1 foot 6.5 inches

another question how do I convert for example 7.6 to 7'6 (seven feet six inches)?

You're right, I meant to type it equals 1.54 feet not 1.65 so my bad for that. Here's how I came up with that:

(47 x .39370078740157477) = 18.50 (/ 12) = 1.54

ok my other question is how do I convert for example 1.54 to 1'54 (one foot fifty four inches)?

so that it how can create an output of 1'54 instead of 1.54?

I figured it out myself. I hope this helps someone else

double sizeX;
                double sizeY;
                double roundX;
                double roundY;
                double inchesX;
                double inchesY;

                sizeX = Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(ItemTitle.Size_CM_X) * 0.032808399);
                sizeY = Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(ItemTitle.Size_CM_Y) * 0.032808399);

                roundX =  (Convert.ToDouble(ItemTitle.Size_CM_X) * 0.032808399) - sizeX;
                roundY = (Convert.ToDouble(ItemTitle.Size_CM_Y) * 0.032808399) - sizeY;

                inchesX = Math.Floor(roundX * 12);
                inchesY = Math.Floor(roundY * 12);
                Title.Text = (sizeX + " ' " + inchesX) + " x " + (sizeY + " ' " + inchesY)
