While I didn't grow up in metric many measurements in Canada are given in metric and because of the work I have done, I have had to convert hundreds of times from one system to the other both for distance and for temperature. I think I'll stick with my method - too much to remember using T-Rex's method and awkward using both feet and inches. If I need to be very accurate which in this case you don't, I check it on my measuring tape which has both metric and imperial.
