Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question, we have to tell the how many inches the Eunice puppy tall, this question belongs to conversion topic that is we have to convert the unit from one form to other here we have to convert the unit foot to the unit inches first we have to find the 1 foot is how many inches by using the given hint in the question and next by multiplication we get the required solution.

Complete step by step solution:
The foot and inches are the units to measure the length quantities.
 Length is the measurement of the distance between two points, two things or two places. To measure length, a unit of measurement is used. There are two different systems for measuring: customary and metric. This concept is about Customary Units of measurement.
The most common customary units of measurement are the inch, the feet, the yard and the mile.
Consider the given data in question:
One inch is \[\dfrac{1}{{12}}\] of a foot i.e.,
\[ \Rightarrow 1\] inch \[ = \] \[\dfrac{1}{{12}}\] foot
Or
\[ \Rightarrow 1\] foot \[ = \] \[12\] inch
Eunice puppy has a \[\dfrac{3}{4}\] foot tall, now we have to tell the height of the puppy by inches.
To convert \[\dfrac{3}{4}\] foot into inches, we multiply the \[\dfrac{3}{4}\] into 12.
\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4} \times 12\]
On simplification, we get
\[ \Rightarrow 3 \times 3\]
\[ \Rightarrow 9\]
Hence, the Eunice puppy is 9 inch tall.
So, the correct answer is “9 inch tall”.

Note: We have different units for solid quantity, liquid quantity and gaseous quantity. Every quantity has a measurement unit from the low quantity to the high quantity. While converting the unit of a quantity from one form to another form we have standard value. By multiplying or dividing we can convert the unit of the quantity. We have a different system of measurement of a quantity.
