Question

How do you convert \[96\] feet to inches?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have been given to do conversion of one unit of length to another. Here, we have to convert feet to inches. For solving this question, we are first going to convert a single standard unit to both of these measurements. Then we are just going to divide the two by making the given adjustments.

Complete step by step solution:
We are going to convert meters to inches and feet.
\[1m = 39.37in\]
\[1m = 3.28ft\]
Now, comparing the two equations,
\[3.28ft = 39.37in\]
or \[1ft = 12in\]
We want to convert \[96\] feet to inches.
So, multiplying both sides by \[96\],
\[96ft = 96 \times 12 = 1152in\]

Note: So, for solving questions of such type, we first write what has been given to us. Then we write down what we have to find. Then we write the formula which connects the two things. We saw that if we have been given two different measurement units whose relation we do not know, we first convert a single standard unit to each of them. Then we just divide the two things with which we will get the direct relation of the two units and then we directly solve it.
