Answer 1

You have two options.

1) If you want your answer to be in feet, first you divide the number of inches by 12, and then add it.

5 feet + 6 inches = 5 feet + 6/12 feet = 5 feet + 1/2 feet = 5 1/2 feet.

2) If you want your answer to be in inches, first you multiply the number of feet by 12, and then add it.

5 feet + 6 inches = 5 × 12 inches + 6 inches = 60 inches + 6 inches = 66 inches.
