Hyperbole is an obvious and intentional exaggeration such as "I read a million books this summer".

Hyperbole is the practice of using exaggeration as a rhetorical technique or figure of speech. Auxesis, which means "growth" in Greek, is another name for it in rhetoric. It accentuates, arouses strong emotions, and leaves an impact on oratory and poetry. Usually not to be taken literally, it is a metaphor of phrase.

For emphasis or effect, hyperbole is frequently utilized. The phrase "the bag weighed a ton" merely signifies that the bag was extremely heavy in everyday conversation. For serious, sarcastic, or humorous consequences, the rhetorical device may be used.

12 1/2 ft= how many inches
ale4655 [162]
One foot is equal to 12 inches, so 12 times 12 will give you the number of inches in 12 feet.
12 x 12 = 144
If there are 12 inches in a whole foot, then there are half that many in a half foot, so there are 6 inches in a half foot. Now you have to had 144 inches to 6 inches.
144 + 6 = 150
There are 150 inches in 12 1/2 feet.

Hope this helps!
