Why are some measurements given in feet and inches at the same time?

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.

What is the cubic feet in a 22 inch diameter 23 feet long cylinder?
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = pi r2h, or the area of the circular base x the height. In this problem, we also have to make sure to use the same units for all the measurements, since the diameter is given in inches and the height is given in feet. Converting to inches, the radius, r, is 11 inches (half of 22 inches) and the height, h, is 276 inches (12 inches x 23 feet). 3.14 approximates pi. Plugging all these values into the formula gives: 3.14 x 112 x 276 = about 104,863.44 cubic inches. Since a cubic foot contains 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 cubic inches, dividing 104,863.44 by 1728 gives about 60.68 cubic feet.
