A man presented in the clinic with complaint of severe knee pain waist pain and inability to walk well. When he was weighed, he had a weight of 103 kg, height 5 feet 4 inches. How do I calculate his BMI?

Question

How do I find how many inches are in 2 5/6 feet?

Donagan

Top Answerer

2 feet equal 24 inches. 1/6 of a foot equals 2 inches, so 5/6 of a foot equals 10 inches. 2 5/6 feet equal (24 + 10) or 34 inches.

Question

What is the area if the figure measures 1/6 ft by 1/3 ft, converting to inches first?

Community Answer

Let's assume the figure is a rectangle. A = (1/6 ft)(1/3 ft) = (2 inches)(4 inches) = 8 sq in. If you want to convert to square feet, divide by 144: 8/144 = 1/18 sq ft.
