If you mean like 5ft and 6in (in ex.) it's because 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, and it gives a more precise measurement. If you mean something is 2ft and then they put 24in, it makes it easier for conversion to the metric system.
Oh, dude, 6 feet is actually longer than 73 inches. Like, a foot is 12 inches, so 6 feet would be 72 inches. So, yeah, 6 feet is the winner here. But hey, who's really keeping track of these things anyway, right?
5 feet 2 inches is 62 inches so 68 inches is longer.
No, they're the same
To compare 8 feet and 97 inches, we need to convert them to the same unit. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 8 feet is equal to 8 x 12 = 96 inches. Therefore, 97 inches is greater than 8 feet by 1 inch.
8 feet 6 inches is the same as 102 inches and 1/3 of 102 = 34 inches or 2 feet and 10 inches
convert
Yes.
They are virtually identical.
To find the area of a lot measuring 100 inches by 100 feet, first convert the measurements to the same unit. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 100 inches is approximately 8.33 feet. The area is then calculated as 8.33 feet × 100 feet, which equals about 833 square feet.
Pickleball is played on a court that is the same size as a badminton court (20 feet wide by 44 feet long). The net is set at 36 inches high on the edges and 34 inches in the middle.
9 feet. 9 ft = 108 in.
To compare the two measurements, we need to convert them to the same unit. Three yards is equal to 9 feet (since 1 yard = 3 feet). Therefore, 3 yards is 9 feet, which is 108 inches (as 1 foot = 12 inches). Since 100 inches is less than 108 inches, 3 yards (or 108 inches) is greater than 100 inches.
Convert the measurements to the same units: 1ft = 12in 3ft = 3 x 12in = 36in 38in is greater than 3 feet.
To solve this problem, we first need to convert all the measurements to the same unit. 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so 3 yards is 3 x 3 = 9 feet. 24 inches is equal to 2 feet, so 24 inches is 24/12 = 2 feet. Now we can add and subtract the measurements: 54 feet - 9 feet + 2 feet = 47 feet. Therefore, 54 feet minus 3 yards plus 24 inches equals 47 feet.
They would not be the same thing. 4.9 feet would be 58.8 inches and 4 feet 9 inches would be 57 inches.
I suggest you convert both measurements to the same units (for example, convert everything to inches, or to feet); then, you can easily compare them.
18 inches=1.5 feet
