Question

A stack of books is 56 inches high. How high is it in feet and inches?

Answer 1

4 feet and 8 inches

Explanation:

To convert a high number of inches to feet you divide it by 12 since 12 inches makes 1 foot.

So 56÷12 = 4 reminder 8

The remainder we keep it as inches

So our answer is 4 feet and 8 inches.

Answer 2

1 foot = 12 inches

56 inches / 12 inches = 4.66 feet = 4 feet and 8 inches
