One foot is 12 inches, so 5 foot 4 == 5*12 +4 = 64
To simplify the ratio of 1 foot to 4 inches, we first need to convert both measurements to the same unit. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can rewrite 1 foot as 12 inches. Therefore, the ratio becomes 12 inches to 4 inches. To simplify this ratio, we divide both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 4. So, the simplified ratio of 1 foot to 4 inches is 3:1.
> Divide the number 56 by the number 12 (12 inches equals 1 foot). The answer is 4.66 feet, or 4 feet 6 inches. That answer is incorrect, that is definitely how you find the feet, but not the remaining inches. 56/12 = 4.667 = 4 feet (because there are 12 inches in a foot) 12*4 = 48 (this is how many inches 4 feet is exactly) 56 - 48 = 8 remaining inches The reason we do this is because 4.6 is a metric measurement, the .6 doesn't mean "6 inches" but "6 tenths". Think of inches to feet as "twelveths", whereas .6 to 1 is "tenths". This would work in the metric world as metric is decimal based, meaning its in tenths. So, your answer is 56 inches is 4' 8" (Four feet, eight inches)
To convert 4 feet to inches, you multiply 4 by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot), which equals 48 inches. Then, you add 7 inches, giving you a total of 55 inches. Therefore, 4 feet and 7 inches is equivalent to 55 inches.
1 foot is 12 inches. 12 + 4 - 8 = 8
