Question

High Jump: If a person high jumps 6 feet 5 inches, how many inches is the jump?

Answer 1

Convert the 6 feet into inches and then add the 5 inches.

1 feet = 12 inches


`(6 feet)/(1) * (12 inches)/(1 feet)`


`(72 inches)/(1)`

Then add the 5 inches to the 72 inches.

5 + 72 = 77

So, 77 inches is the answer.

Answer 2

If a person jumps 6 feet 5 inches than they are jumping 77 inches. You find this because there are 12 inches in a foot, so you multiply 12 times 6 and get 72. You than add 72 plus 5 and get 77.

Your answer is: 77 inches

Have an amazing day!
