The values of the fractions of length in feet and inches can be presented as follows;

10/4 = 2 1/2

1-15/16'' = 31/16''

12/8 = 18''

1'8'' = 20''

98'' = 8'2''

The steps used to find the equivalent lengths in feet and inches can be presented as follows;

The conversion of the improper fractions to proper fractions can be presented as follows;

10/4 = 2 2/4

2 2/4 = 2 1/4

Therefore; 10/4 = 2 1/4

1 15/16 = 31/16''

12/8 = 1 4/8

1 4/8 = 1 1/2

1/2' = 6 inches

Therefore, 12/8 = 1 1/2'

1 1/2' = 12'' + 6''

12 + 6 = 18''

12/8 = 18''

1'8'' is 1 feet 8 inches

12 inches = 1 feet

Therefore; 1 feet 8 inches = 12 inches + 8 inches

12 inches + 8 inches = 20 inches

1'8'' = 20''

98 '' is 98 inches, therefore;

98'' is 98/12 = 8 2/12

8 2/12 = 8 1/6

1/6 feet is; 12 × 1/2 = 2 inches

98'' = 8' 2''
