a ladder is 53 inches tall. How tall is it in feet and inches
1 foot = 12 inches
53 / 12 = _______
To convert the height of the ladder from inches to feet and inches, we need to divide the total inches by 12 (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot) to get the number of feet. Then, the remainder will tell us the number of inches.
Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Divide 53 (the total number of inches) by 12.
53 รท 12 = 4 with a remainder of 5
This means that the ladder is 4 feet and 5 inches tall.
Therefore, the ladder is 4 feet and 5 inches in height.
4 feet = 4*12 = 48 inches
that leaves 5 inches left over
