Answer: ≈ 0.419 feet per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Units to know for this question:

➜ 365 days in a year

➜ 304.8 mm in a foot

First, we will find the number of mm the hair grows per year.

0.35 mm per day * 365 = 127.75 mm per year

Next, we will find out many feet that is.

127.75 mm per year / 304.8 mm in a foot ≈ 0.419 feet per year
