"How tall is he?"
"About five-ten."
The above exchange is how Americans would respond to the question. It means the guy is five feet ten inches tall.
How would someone from a metric country respond? What is the common vernacular if the guy is 1.524 tall? That's the conversion of five feet ten inches. It certainly doesn't have to be that exact. I'm just looking for the normal wording of the response. Thanks.
