As for 170", yes, that's what I'd use. It's very easy to divide 14'2" by two, but divide it by three. Or mentally divide 15'7" by two. That's easy, it's 7'6" + 3 1/2" so 7'9 1/2". I think. Or add several numbers that are feet and inches. Adding inches alone is simpler.
The reason we have ten fingers (I'm counting a thumb as a finger) and ten toes is so we can easily work with divisions of ten. God figured, in all its wisdom, to give us these groups of ten digits because it assumed that the entire world would be smart enough to come up with, and use, the Metric System. So much for all-powerful and all-knowing!
