a yard stick.
Page numbers in a book, your phone number and (most) addresses. Any time you count people, places or things. When someone is on the 40 yard line in football, that is an integer. Ever since you learned how to count you used integers, you just didn't use the word "integer".
"Feet" describes a length or distance, like a piece of thread or a road trip. "Square feet" describes a flat area, like a bedroom wall or a football field. They're used to describe completely different quantities, and neither one can be converted into the other one. No matter how long your piece of thread is, it can't cover your front yard. "No matter how long your piece of thread is, it can't cover your front yard." Is actually incorrect. Depending on thickness of the thread, and length of thread, you COULD cover a yard with it. By reaching the end of your yard, and then running it back the other way side by side, this does not decrease the length of thread but it does allow you to cover said yard. Unless you mean "No matter how long your STRAIGHT piece of thread is, it can't cover your front yard." unless of course its a very thick thread.
