Answer: 84 inches

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a number that is used to multiply or divide one set of units into another. For instance, 12 inches equals one foot when converting between inches and feet.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches

And we are trying to figure out how much inches are in 7 ft.

We can create a conversion (or cross multiply)


(12)/(1) =(x)/(7)

Where inches are in the numerator and ft are in demoninator.

When cross multiplying (multiplying in a diagonal) you get:

x = 84 inches

So 7 ft equals 84 inches.

---

A quicker method would be to multiply 7 ft by 12 inches/1 ft (foot), and get 84 inches.
