Answer:

Length of the box in closest feet is 1 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the box = 20 cm

We need to express the length of the box in feet.

We know that,

1 inch = 2.54 cm

and 1 feet = 12 inches

⇒ 1 feet = 12 × 2.54 = 30.48 cm

Now,

$1\,cm=(1)/(30.48)\,feet$

$\implies20\,cm=(20)/(30.48)=(2000)/(3048)=0.656\,feet$

Closest feet = 1 feet

Therefore, Length of the box in closest feet is 1 feet.
