How many times does 18 inches go into 5 feet?

Answer 1

Convert to the same units, then the calculation can be done:

1 ft = 12 in

Converting to inches:

→ 5 ft = 5 × 12 in = 60 in

→ 5 ft ÷ 18 in = 60 in ÷ 18 in = 3 1/3 times

As a decimal = 3.333... times ≈ 3.33 times.

Alternatively, converting to feet:

→ 18 in = 18 ÷ 12 ft = 1½ ft

→ 5 ft ÷ 18 in = 5 ft ÷ 1½ ft = 5 ÷ 3/2 = 5 × 2/3 = 10/3 = 3 1/3 times

As a decimal = 3.333... times ≈ 3.33 times.
