31,680 inches = 31680 × 0.0254/1 meters = 804.672 metres

  • You discovered that at birth, you were 0.00030977 miles long. This means your height was 0.00030977 miles.

  • Now, the S.I unit of height is meters.

From standard conversions;

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

Thus;

0.00030977 miles = 0.00030977 × 1609.344 meters = 0.4985 metres
