Answer:

There are 72 inches in 6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

Jada is working on improving her vertical jump.

Currently, her standing reach is 6 feet from the ground.

Now, to find the inches in 6 feet.

Let the inches in 6 feet be $x.$

As given:

In 1 foot there are 12 inches.

So, 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.

Thus, 6 feet is equivalent to $x$

Now, to find using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{1}{12} =\frac{6}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$x=72$

So, the inches in 6 feet = 72.

Therefore, there are 72 inches in 6 feet.
