The shortest woman is 2 feet and 7/10 of an inch tall, and the tallest is 7 feet and 7/10 of an inch tall. Those numbers look a little oddto me: usually if an article gives metric values to that many decimal places it turns out to have been converted from customary units, or vice versa. Here they give the taller woman's height to the hundredth of a centimeter, and in customary units it comes out as 0.71 inches over seven feet.
