Question

Write 55 inches in feet and inches

Answer 1

The answer is 4ft 7inches

Answer 2

answer: 4 feet 7 inches

work:

there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

the answer wants inches and feet, so let's think: what's the largest number that is smaller than 55 but fits into 12? this number would be 48.

so, divide 12 by 48 and you get 4 (this means 4 feet)

to calculate how many inches we have left over, subtract the 48 from 55 and we will get our remainder.  

55 - 48 = 7

so, this means we have 7 inches left over and  combining that with our 4 feet, we have 4 feet 7 inches.

i hope this helps, and have a great day! don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question! ♥ - eviezoom
