Question

Convert 45 inches to feet and then back to inches.

Answer 1

what do you mean

Answer 2

I have got:
12in/1ft X 1ft/60
So my answer is 3.75 ft. The 75 is wrong. What am I supposed to do?

Answer 3

3.75 feet

Answer 4

I mean, convert to feet and then back to inches..

Answer 5

thats what i got

Answer 6

Where did you get 45 from? Like, how did you solve it?

Answer 7

12 inches = 1 feet
45 inches = x feet

Make a proportion:

\(\sf\Large\frac{12in}{1ft}=\frac{45 in}{x~ft}\)

Answer 8

And just cross multiply to solve for x.

Answer 9

No....You're supposed to divide 12 inches by 60.

Answer 10

And when you change back what you got for x feet into inches, you should get 45 inches...

Answer 11

Whoops! Here's what it is:

Answer 12

So they want the answer in feets and inches. :P

Answer 13

Yes....

Answer 14

45 inches

Can be written as

36 inches + 9 inches = 3 feet 9 inches

Answer 15

I got, 3.75 but I just don't see how it rounds to 3.9

Answer 16

9 inches out of 12 inches = 9/12 = .75

Answer 17

Ok, still doesn't make sense but oh well. Thanks.

Answer 18

\[12 \text{ inches }=1 \text{ foot } \\ \frac{1 \text{ foot}}{12 \text{ inches}}=1 \text{ and/ or } \frac{12 \text{ inches }}{1 \text{ foot }} =1 \\ \text{ you can use these two fractions to convert from inches to feet} \\ \\ \text{ and also the other way around } \\ \\ \text{ so say you want to convert } 22 \text{ inches to feet } \\ 22 \text{ inches } \cdot \frac{1 \text{ ft}}{12 {inches}}=\frac{22}{12} \text{ feet} \text{ note this can be reduced } \\ \\ \text{ we can convert } \frac{22}{12} \text{ ft} \text{ to inches as well } \\ \frac{22 }{12} \frac{ft}{1} \cdot \frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 ft}=22 \text{ inches }\]

Answer 19

on and I see how you want your answer
20 let's take our 22 inches
how many whole feet are in 22/12 feet?

Answer 20

I don't know why I typed the number 20 lol

Answer 21

ignore that number

Answer 22

lol.

Answer 23

We all make some kind of mistakes at times.

Answer 24

\[22 \text{ inches }=\frac{22}{12} \text{ feet }=\frac{12+10}{12}ft=1 \text{ ft } 10 \text{ inches }\]
because 22/12 has a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 10

Answer 25

45/12
has a quotient of ?
and a remainder of?

Answer 26

And a note

in freckles example 1 feet 10 inches = 1 feet 10/12 inches when you want in decimal :P

Answer 27

Ok, so I have something similar to this...For example if I get a question that says like..
5.2km= ______m = _______cm

Answer 28

No, wait. Let me do this one myself and you tell me if I get it right. Ok?

Answer 29

1 feet and 10 inches
=
1 feet and 10/12 feet
@TheSmartOne

Answer 30

I'd multiply 1000 * 5.2, correct?

Answer 31

another example
92 inches to ? ft and ? inches
\[92 \text{ inches}=\frac{92}{12} feet \]
the thing you want to do is mainly write 92/12 as a mix fraction
the quotient is your feets part
and the remainder is your inches part

Answer 32

Quit spamming!

Answer 33

I got 5200. What's my next step?

Answer 34

are you working on a new problem?

Answer 35

Yes...Look above...

Answer 36

well that is right in meters

Answer 37

So, what would I do next? Like if I'd need it in meters and centimeters, what would I do?

Answer 38

well you converted it to meters
it also says to convert it to centimeters

Answer 39

5.2km= 5200 m
5.2 km=? cm

Answer 40

or if you want you can convert 5200m=? cm

Answer 41

520

Answer 42

I think that number is a bit off :p

Answer 43

1 meter=100 centimeter

Answer 44

you have 5200 m=? cm

Answer 45

multiply both sides of
1 meter=100 cm
by 5200

Answer 46

I'm talking about like if I needed it something like this:

Answer 47

that new thing you wrote doesn't make sense

Answer 48

the first number has no units

Answer 49

I already get the question though

Answer 50

do you know 1 meter=100 centimeter?

Answer 51

Well, the first number in units is kilometers...
Yes, I do know that..

Answer 52

\[5200(1) \text{ meter}=5200 (100) \text{ centimeter}\]
are you having trouble with the multiplying part?

Answer 53

No.

Answer 54

like 5200(1)=5200
and 5200(100)= <--hint just add 2 zeros at the end of 5200

Answer 55

Ya, that's what I did...How would I know which number to put in which place...Like for example, what number would go into the cm spot?

Answer 56

5200(100) as we talked above
you just need to multiply 5200(100)

Answer 57

520,000????

Answer 58

\[1 \text{ meter} =100 \text{ centimeter} \\ \text{ we are going to multiply both sides by 5200 } \\ \text{ since we want to know } 5200 \text{ meters}=? \text{ centimeters} \\ \\5200(1) \text{ meter}=5200 (100) \text{ centimeter}\]
\[5200 \text{ meter}=520000 \text{ centimeter}\]
yes

Answer 59

Oh, ok! Lol, sorry, I was confusing myself, haha! My bad. But thanks for helping me though. I get it.

Answer 60

@kanard then delete your replies. Stop yelling.
