5' 8" x 7" - How do I multiply this?

Donagan

Top Answerer

First convert 5'8" to inches: 5 ft 8 in = (5 x 12) + 8 = 68 in. Then multiply 68 inches by 7 inches. That's 476 square inches.

Question

How can I convert 45 inches into feet as a mixed number?

Community Answer

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you should divide the number of inches into groups of 12 so you can see how many feet you have. 45 / 12 = 3 feet and 9 inches, or 3 3/4 feet.

Question

How do I calculate square feet?

Donagan

Top Answerer

If the measurements are in feet, just multiply them together to get square feet. If the dimensions are in inches, first divide them by 12 to convert them to feet, then multiply them together for square feet. If the measurements are in some other unit, first convert to feet.

A floor plan is drawn where 1 inch equals 2.5 feet. The bedroom measures 4 inches by 6 inches on the floor plan. What are the dimensions of the bedroom?

Donagan

Top Answerer

For each dimension multiply the number of inches measured by 2.5 feet. So it's 4 x 2.5 and 6 x 2.5.

Question

If one box is 3' 8" long, one is 2' 7" and the other one is 6' 3", what is total feet and inches?

Donagan

Top Answerer

If you're trying to add those three lengths together, first add the feet, then add the inches, and combine them: 3 + 2 + 6 = 11 feet. 8 + 7 + 3 = 18 inches, which is 1 foot, 6 inches. Combine the first sum with the second: 11 feet + 1 foot, 6 inches = 12 feet, 6 inches.

Question

How do I convert a mixed measurement of inches and feet into just feet?

Community Answer

The number of feet remains the same. Divide the number of inches by 12. Add that to the feet number. For example, 3 feet 8 inches = 3 8/12 feet = 3 2/3 feet. Another example: 5 feet 11 inches = 5 11/12 feet.
