You want to convert inches to feet given the scale 1 in per 1/2 ft.

anonymous · Answer

since you are going in to ft, you want in on the bottom and you want ft on top.

anonymous · Answer

$$
28\, in \times \left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}\, ft}{1\, in}\right) = \quad  ft
$$

anonymous · Answer

the inches cancel and you are left with feet.
