convert feet and inches to only feet.
a) 17 ft 6 in
17ft +6 inches =210 inches.
210 inches =17.5 Ft
17ft + (6/12)ft = 17 + 1/2 = 17.5 Ft.
To convert feet and inches to only feet, you need to add the inches to the total number of feet by performing the following steps:
1. Convert the inches to feet: Since there are 12 inches in a foot, divide the number of inches by 12.
In this case, there are 6 inches, so 6 ÷ 12 = 0.5 feet.
2. Add the converted inches to the total number of feet:
The initial measurement is 17 feet, so add 0.5 feet to get the final measurement.
17ft + 0.5ft = 17.5 feet.
Therefore, 17 ft 6 in is equal to 17.5 feet.
