Refer to the scale.

To convert between decimal elevations and feet/inches start by taking the feet and set that aside. Then take the decimal and multiply by 12.

Example, say you have 15.38 as your elevation to convert. 15 stays as 15 ft, then multiply .38*12. You should end up with 15 ft 4.56 in. Now, take the .56 off of the 4 inches, and multiply by 16, to give you how many 16ths of an inch more than 4 inches you have. => 0.56*16=8.96. Basically, that equals 9/16 more than 4 inches.

In the end, elevation 15.38 converts to 15 ft, 4-9/16 inches.

Hope this helps.

Well, darling, to calculate elevations on prints to feet and inches, you simply convert the total elevation in inches to feet by dividing by 12. The whole number will give you the feet, and the remainder will be the inches. It's not rocket science, just basic math with a side of sass.

To calculate elevations on prints to feet and inches, you first need to identify the scale of the drawing. Measure the vertical distance on the print using a ruler or scale, then convert that measurement to the actual elevation using the scale factor. For example, if the scale is 1 inch = 10 feet, a measurement of 3.5 inches on the print would correspond to an elevation of 35 feet.

Well, calculating elevations on prints to feet and inches is like painting a happy little tree. You simply take the elevation measurement in feet and then convert any remaining inches. It's all about finding the beauty in the details and making sure your final measurement is as lovely as a sunset on a clear summer evening. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in calculations.
