Question

For each measurement in the first column, write the equivalent number of inches in the second column. MeasurementMeasurement in Inches5 feet 2 inches627 feet 3 inches6 feet 4 inches4 feet 8 inches4 yards

Answer 1

You are required to provide the measurement in inches for each measurement given on the left column. The first one is solved thus;

`\begin{gathered} 5ft,2in \\ \text{Where 1 foot=12 inches, then} \\ (5ft*12)+2in=60in+2in \\ (5ft*12)+2in=62in \end{gathered}`

Therefore we shall use the same conversion rate of 12 inches equals 1 foot to solve the others as follows;

`\begin{gathered} (1) \\ (7ft*12)+3in=84in+3in \\ (7ft*12)+3in=87in \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (2) \\ (6ft*12)+^{}4in=72in+4in \\ (6ft*12)+4in=76in \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (3) \\ (4ft*12)+8in=48in+8in \\ (4ft*12)+8in=56in \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (4) \\ \text{Note that 1 yard=3 feet, which means} \\ 4\text{yards}=(4yd*3)ft \\ 4\text{yards}=12ft \\ \text{Therefore,} \\ 12ft*12=144in \\ \text{hence,} \\ 4\text{yards}=144in \end{gathered}`
