Tailor tape height is equal to stadio meters height ? I'm tried in my home with tailors tape it was shown 5feet 6.5 inches which is accurate

[@elizabethpozada2406]

hello my questions is we raise the scale bar while the pacient is still on the scale, thanks

[@michaelvoisinet4356]

If you want to know what 55 inches is you divide 55 by 12 which is 4 ft 7 in.

Is a tape measurer an accurate way of measuring yourself from home? I measure 5’5 1/2 on a tape measurer, and I want to know if it’s my actual height, or if I’m shorter or taller than that. Great video btw (:

[@AlliedHealthToolsLLC]

Generally, an inch will be an inch no matter the tool. Accuracy mainly comes from proper technique. Having your height taken at the doctor’s office is likely more accurate than doing it at home on your own. A trained professional has tools/equipment designed specifically for taking height and can help you adjust your body, head position, etc. as needed for accurate measurement. Hope this helps! Thank you for your feedback.

[@chills4847]

AlliedHealthToolsLLC Thank you (:

Supposedly I am measuring 1.82-1.83m (6'0ft) according to tape measures but I wish I had reached at least 1.90 (6'3) :/

[@rtdsubinspector6060]

I cheked my hieght in shopping mall using digital hieght measuring instrument
My height is 169.1
And i cheked my tap my hieght is 167
Which is correct?

[@AlliedHealthToolsLLC]

I’m not sure. I think the best thing to do is to have a health care professional measure your height.

[@alexw8731]

Well I read it wrong when the doctor measured me so I gues I got to wait another year to be measured proper because it’s always different when people I’m family do it.

[@venshaw9005]

As i heard about multiply , i hurry up and get off 😂😂😂, i hate maths with a passion 😒, i lovvvvvve English ❤❤❤. But this height i got to try and learn....even if it takes me for ever 😢 lawd help me🙄🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.

[@AlliedHealthToolsLLC]

Which part gave you the most difficulty?

[@doublecyt88]

What’s 64 and 75 I was told that

[@laatkinson4652]

how did you get 4 out of 55 inches? confused......

[@AlliedHealthToolsLLC]

I see that you are referring to the example given at the 8:17 mark. For this, determine the highest number of feet you can go up to without passing 55 inches. If 4 feet equals 48 inches and 5 feet equals 60 inches, then 4 feet is the highest number of feet that can be used without going above 55 inches. From, there determine how many inches are left over (55 inches - 48 inches = 7 inches). With this explanation in mind, review the video from the 6:57 mark and onward, and see if you have a better understanding of this concept. Hope this helps.
