72 inches equals how many feet?

Answer 1

You take the whole number 7 (feet) and multiply by 12 (inches in a foot). = 84"

Take the decimal .2 and multiply by 12 also to get 2.4, the whole number

2 is equal to 2 more inches. = 2"

Add the two whole inches to get = 86"

Now you have the .4 left which you divide by 16, since the smallest

increment on a measuring tape is 16ths of an inch. You can not divide a

decimal by a fraction so you convert 16ths to a decimal to get .0625. Your

answer will be 6.4. Forget the decimal here and just round to 6. So really

this is 6/16 of an inch which is reduced down to = 3/8"

Put all together you get 86 3/8" or 7' 2 3/8".

Note that this is rounded since we rounded only to the hundredth when equating, but is the best to come up with an actual measurement you can use in fractions of an inch.
