English term or phrase: 10 feet 9.9 inches / 19 feet and 7.8 inches / 16 feet 2.5 inches

Hola. El motivo de mi pregunta se debe a que me confunde un poco la manera en que están escritas estas cibras, es decir no dice 9.9 ó 19. 7, y no sé si debo considerarlo así para fines de conversión a metros y centímetros. Les agradeceré su ayuda.

The dimensions of the CK850 are 10 feet 9.9 inches from the top of the gantry.
The overall length of the crawlers is 19 feet and 7.8 inches and the width with extended crawlers is 16 feet 2.5 inches .

Explanation:
1.- "10 feet = 120 inches" + "9.9 inches" = 129.9 inches.
129.9 inches X 2.54 = 329.946 cm = 329.9 cm = 3.30 m.
2.- "19 feet = 228 inches" + "7.8 inches" = 235.8 inches.
235.8 inches X 2.54 = 598.932 cm = 598.9 cm = 5.99 m.
3.- And so on.

Explanation:
Si la audiencia de destino utiliza el sistema métrico decimal, sugiero convertirlo a metros y centímetros y dejar en paréntesis las medidas originales en pies (feet) y pulgadas (inches).
Siendo mas detallado, utilizar factores de conversión tales como:
1 foot = 30.48 cm
1 inch = 2.54 cm
Entonces, 10 feet 9.9 inches = (10*30.48 + 9.9*2.54) = 329.95 cm = 3 m, 29.95 cm
