Q&A for How to Measure in Inches

Most rulers are not calibrated in hundredths of an inch. .66" is 2/3 of an inch, which is a little more than halfway from the mark for a half-inch and the mark for 3/4 of an inch.

To measure anything, you need a measuring device such as a ruler, yardstick, measuring tape, etc.

1 meter = 3.28 feet. The International System of Units (SI) says that one meter is the distance light travels in a vacuum in a certain amount of time. On the other hand, a foot is a standard unit of length in the U.S. and a few other places. The comparison between meters and feet is based on the fact that one foot is about 0.3048 meter. This number comes from the normal conversion rate, which says that 1 meter is equal to 3.28084 feet. So to go from meters to feet, multiply the number of meters by 3.28. To go the other way, divide the number of feet by 3.28 to get the number of meters.

To change inches to feet, we need to split the number of inches by 12, since one foot is 12 inches long. In this case, 220 inches is what we have. Dividing 220 by 12, we get: 220 inches times 12 equals 18.33 feet (to two decimal places). This means that 220 inches is about 18.33 feet.

(18 ft)(12 in/ft) = 216 inches.
