Final answer:
63 inches is not equal to 5 feet; 63 inches is equal to 5 feet and 3 inches, as 1 foot equals 12 inches, and thus 5 feet equals 60 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine whether 63 inches is equal to 5 feet, we need to convert one of the measurements to the other's unit. Since we know that 1 foot = 12 inches, we can multiply the number of feet by the unit equivalence to find the answer.
Multiply 5 feet by the unit equivalence to convert feet to inches:
- 5 feet x 12 inches/foot = 60 inches
Therefore, 63 inches is not equal to 5 feet. Instead, 63 inches is equal to 5 feet and 3 inches since it is 3 inches more than 60 inches (which are 5 feet).
