Answer 2

There are 72 inches in 6 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

Jada is working on improving her vertical jump.

Currently, her standing reach is 6 feet from the ground.

Now, to find the inches in 6 feet.

Let the inches in 6 feet be
`x.`

As given:

In 1 foot there are 12 inches.

So, 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.

Thus, 6 feet is equivalent to
`x`

Now, to find using cross multiplication method:

`(1)/(12) =(6)/(x)`

By cross multiplying we get:

`x=72`

So, the inches in 6 feet = 72.

Therefore, there are 72 inches in 6 feet.
