Is the answer not supposed to be ~47.24 inches?

Yeah, I'm not really sure why people are talking like this feature on Google isn't working. We must be missing something... (unless it was a transient bug).

To me, google shows a conversion tool: "120 metres = 4724,409 inches".

Note that it confused the unit cm vs m.

It parses the request as 120m for me (and presumably the submitter), resulting in 4724 inches rather than 47.24.
