Answer:

Rewriting the given expression in feet gives:

$(1)/(24)m\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the expression below in feet.

$(1)/(2)m\text{ inches in f}eet$

Recall that;

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{ foot = 12 inches} \\ 1\text{ inch = }(1)/(12)foot \end{gathered}$

so, converting the expression to feet we have;

$\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)m\text{ inches =}(1)/(2)m*(1)/(12)feet \\ =(1)/(2)*(1)/(12)* m\text{ f}eet \\ =(1)/(24)m\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}$

Therefore, rewriting the given expression in feet we have;

$(1)/(24)m\text{ feet}$
