A ladder is
87
inches tall. How tall is it in feet and inches
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so we can convert 87 inches into feet and inches as follows:
- Divide 87 by 12 to get the number of whole feet: 87 ÷ 12 = 7 with a remainder of 3.
- The quotient of 7 means that the ladder is 7 feet tall.
- The remainder of 3 inches means that the ladder is an additional 3 inches beyond 7 feet.
- Therefore, the ladder is 7 feet 3 inches tall.
A board is 97 inches long
How long is it in feet and inches?

An archaeologist found a fossil that has a length of
476.91
in
.
Use the table of facts to find the length of the fossil in feet.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so we can convert 476.91 inches into feet as follows:
- Divide 476.91 by 12 to get the length in feet: 476.91 ÷ 12 = 39.7425 feet.
- Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the fossil in feet is 39.7 feet.
Therefore, the length of the fossil is approximately 39.7 feet.
A volcano on a recently discovered planet rises to a height of
19.529
mi
.
Use the table of facts to find the height of the volcano in feet.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
There are 5280 feet in 1 mile, so we can convert 19.529 miles into feet as follows:
- Multiply 19.529 by 5280 to get the height in feet: 19.529 × 5280 = 103264.32 feet.
- Rounded to the nearest tenth, the height of the volcano in feet is 103264.3 feet.
Therefore, the height of the volcano is approximately 103264.3 feet.
