covert inches to feet is it possible?

Question

We are looking at a home in TN, We live in NV, All I have to work with is a picture. In the picture, the space for the fridge is 2 1/2 inchs (I really love my fridge) Anyways my fridge is 2 feet wide. Is there a way to figure out if it would fit, by converting inches to feet or feet to inches?

Answer 1

12 inches equals 1 foot, 24 inches = 2 feet, etc. but if the space is 2.5 inches wide and the fridge is 2 feet (or 24 inches) i dont think it will work.

Answer 2

As a standard, the space for a fridge is usually 36" wide, a stove is 30" and a dishwasher is 24". How ever that being said custom building throws all the standards out and you will have to ask. Just a guess, but 24" wide for a fridge is rather small so it will probably fit ok.

Answer 3

I think you are referring to scale. in 1/4 scale, 1/4 inch equals 1 foot.
So, you need to determine the scale of the drawing. It is a drawing of the house, I assume. It may not be in a specific scale, so, you need to find something that is always the same. Exterior doorways are standard at 3 feet, or 36 inches. So, if the fridge is 2/3s of that, there you go. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Are you serious? 12 inches are in 1 foot, so just multiply the inches by 12 or divide the foot by 12. It's NOT THAT HARD.

But since you're looking at a picture, then you need a LOT of variables, such as dimension width between the camera lens and the fridge. Just tell someone to measure it.

Answer 5

Obviously the picture is not to precise scale, assuming the picture is not a drawing?. Why not visit the new house with a ruler and check for yourself? Or simplyu ring the realtor for the space dimensions.

Answer 6

Without a sense of scale, it's not possible. Call the realtor and ask for a measurement of the space.
