Question

A tree is 91 inches tall. How many is it in feet and inches?

Answer 1

Hint: The inch and foot are units of measurement of length. They are used in daily life for various purposes. Both of them can be used to calculate the length depending on the purpose. We can also convert one unit of measurement to another unit of measurement according to our convenience.

Complete answer:
As we know that both inches and feet are units of measurement of length, and we can also convert one unit of measurement to another unit of measurement.
The relation between these two units is as 12 inches equals 1 foot.
To convert the given length in feet and inches, we need to divide the given length in inches by 12. The quotient of this division is the feet and the remainder of the division are the inches in the answer.
By dividing 91 by 12, we get the quotient as 7 and remainder as 7. Hence, the length of the tree equals 7 feet and 7 inches.

Note: In the given question we are given the length in inches, and are asked to convert in feet and inches. We can also express the length of the tree in feet only. To do this, we need to divide the length which equals 91 by 12 as 12 inches makes one foot, but using decimals this time.
By doing this, we get the length of the tree \[\approx 7.583\] feet.
