12 inches = 1 foot

12 foot = 12 * 12
= 144 feet

We have to convert 12 1/2 feet to inches

Since , 1 foot = 12 inches
1/2 foot = 12 * 1/2
= 6 inches

12 1/2 feet = 144 inches + 6 inches
= 150 inches

Therefore, 12 1/2 feet is 150 inches.

One foot is equal to 12 inches, so 12 times 12 will give you the number of inches in 12 feet.
12 x 12 = 144
If there are 12 inches in a whole foot, then there are half that many in a half foot, so there are 6 inches in a half foot. Now you have to had 144 inches to 6 inches.
144 + 6 = 150
There are 150 inches in 12 1/2 feet.

Hope this helps!
