Yes, this is the correct method. 10 in * (1 ft / 12 in) = 0.8333 ft, and the surface area of a cube is 6*s^2, where s is the edge length. Using s = 0.8333 in, I got a surface area of 4.17. If I used s = 0.833, I actually got 4.16, which is less accurate, so make sure you don't round too much when you do your calculations. XD

But I hope this helps!
