1 foot = 12 inches

So if you do…

70in/12in
=5.8333

Then to get rid of the decimal do…

12 x 5 = 60

meaning you have 5 complete feet which is equal to 60 inches.

If you subtract your total number of inches (70) from the equivalent to 5 feet (60)

70in-60in= 10in

Add the number of complete feet you have (5) and the number of inches leftover (10) together for your answer:

5ft 10in
