To find out hw much inches are in 9.5 feet, do I do 12 times 9.5? I would do that because there is 12 in. in a foot.
Yes, you're right.
4th word is HOW not hw
When I do 12 times 9.5 do I do 12
x 9.5
OR
12
x9.5
but I am pretty sure it is the first one. Thank you so much!
You can do it either way. You'll get the same answer.
12 * 9.5 = 114
9.5 * 12 = 114
It didn't turn out right on the comoputer screen. I wanted to know if you put the .5 hanging off the problem or underneath the 2 in 12
It doesn't make any difference when you're multiplying decimals. After you multiply the two numbers, you still put the decimal point one place to the left since you have only one decimal point in the problem.

Yes, you are correct!
To convert feet to inches, you multiply the number of feet by the conversion factor, which is 12 inches per foot. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, you would indeed multiply 9.5 feet by 12 to find out how many inches there are.
So, 9.5 feet multiplied by 12 inches per foot equals 114 inches.
Therefore, there are 114 inches in 9.5 feet.
