Restrictions
On the (first) Feet & Inches line, the number of feet must be
a whole number greater than, or equal to, 1
and the inches must be less than 12.
(Feet with decimals can be entered on the 2nd line.)
Unvalued zeros on all numbers have been suppressed.
Caution
NO guarantee as to the accuracy of these values is given.
And they should be checked against some other source.
Additional Information
Only in the imperial system of measures are mixed units "allowed".
That is, measurements like19 feet 4 inches
17 miles 13 yards 2 feet
5 pounds 7 ounces
3 tons 5 hundred weights 2 stones
etc. In the SI or metric system mixed measures are "not allowed", and they are certainly not necessary. Something like 15 metres 78 centimetres 3 millimetresis expressed as 15.783 metres and it is so easy with a system which is based on powers of 10. Just a matter of adjusting the decimal point. It can be done on sight, no arithmetic is necessary. Contrast that with trying to do a similar thing in the imperial system.
But do we need to be able to change mixed units into a single unit? Most definitely! Costing depends upon it. So does finding areas and volumes. Using formulas and changing into other systems also require it. So, science, engineering and commerce have to deal with it regularly. It is no wonder that science "went metric" over a 100 year ago.

Perhaps it should be added that, although reference has been made here to the awkward nature of the imperial system, the measuring systems of nearly all other cultures and times have the same underlying fault in their mixed systems
We should be clear where the "fault" lies. It is not in the fact that the imperial system uses measures called feet and inches etc., but in the relationships between those measures.12 inches = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
22 yards = 1 chain,..etc.
Now consider the measurement of 5 yards 2 feet 7 inches. To change that into a single measure (for whatever purpose) some arithmetic is needed to get any one of these 5.8611111 yards
OR
17.583333 feet
OR
211 inches IF instead we had 10 inches = 1 foot
10 feet = 1 yard then the above mixed measurement could easily be read off as any of 5.27 yards
52.7 feet
527 inches
