How do you solve 8ft. take away 6 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert ft into inches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know that 1ft = 12 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's be 96 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8* 1 ft = 8* 12 inches can you tell me first how many inches are in 8 ft?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great good job now subtract 6 inches from that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90 inches. :D Awesome thanks! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem. You can leave like that or convert it back to feet if you want to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about there are twelve inches in a foot, so six inches is half a foot, and 8 feet minus half a foot is seven and a half feet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a good way to explain it. Thanks(:
