  1. A storey can generally be taken as about 4 metres, so 50 storeys = 200 metres. Easy.


  2. A "story" is an estimate and in the US, at least, is usually taken as 10 feet per story.  But keep in mind, that some buildings have, for example, a first floor with a high ceiling, or don't include a 13th floor, etc.

    So 260m = 853ft, so about 85 stories or so.
