Answer:

96 inches in 8 ft

Explanation:

The number of inches is 12 times the number of feet. (Each foot is 12 inches.)

_____

Additional comment

The number of inches is proportional to the number of feet, so the number of inches in 8 feet will be half the number of inches in 16 feet. You may find it easier to divide the table value 192 inches by 2 than to multiply 8 feet by 12.
