How would you multiply 3 feet times 8 inches?

Answer 1

First you would want to convert both amounts into a common unit of measure. In this case it would be easiest to convert 3 feet into 36 inches. When we multiply 36 inches by 8 inches we get our result: 288 square inches.

Answer 2

First, convert both measurements to the same unit; for example, convert both to inches. 3 feet is 36 inches (since 1 foot is 12 inches), so 3 feet is equal to 36 inches. Then, multiply 36 inches by 8 inches to get the result. In this case, 36 inches x 8 inches = 288 square inches.
