Question

Use dimensional analysis to convert the quantity to the indicated units. 3636 in. to ft.

Answer 1

`36\text{ inch}=3\text{ feet}`

Explanation:

We are asked to convert 36 inch to feet using dimensional analysis.

We know that 1 feet equals 12 inches.

Let us convert 36 inches to feet as shown below:

`36\text{ inch}=36\text{ inch}*\frac{\text{1 feet}}{\text{ 12 inch}}`

Inches will cancel out, so we will get:

`36\text{ inch}=36*\frac{\text{1 feet}}{12}`

`36\text{ inch}=\frac{36*\text{1 feet}}{12}`

`36\text{ inch}=\frac{36\text{ feet}}{12}`

`36\text{ inch}=3\text{ feet}`

Therefore, 36 inches equal to 3 feet.
