Example Question #1 : Converting Units Of Measurement

How many inches are in $20\ feet?$

Possible Answers:

240

520

287

236

642

Correct answer:

240

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that $1\ foot=12\ inches$ , and we can use as our unknown.

$\frac{1\ foot}{12\ inches}=\frac{20\ feet}{x\ inches}$

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.

$12\ inches\times 20\ feet= 1\ foot \times x\ inches$

$\frac{12\ inches\times 20\ feet}{1\ foot}= 240\ inches$

The $\yards$ $\ feet$ will cancel and we are left with $240\ inches$
