Default convert meters to feet/inches

One way:

Assume the # of meters is in A1:

To get feet, put this in B1:

=INT(CONVERT(A1,"m","ft"))

To get inches, put this in C1:

=ROUND(MOD(CONVERT(A13,"m","ft"),1)*12,1)


Put it together:

=B1&" feet and "&C1&" inches"

i'm trying to convert from meters to feet and inches (not just feet or not
just inches).
so if i have 2 meters, i want the result to read 6 feet, 2 inches for
example not 6.x feet or 78 inches.
here's the formula i have, which i can't get right.
=CONVERT(2,"m","ft""in").
