How to Convert Feet to Inches
Example: How many inches are equivalent to 14.22 feet?
As;
1 feet = 12 inches
14.22 feet = Y inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 14.22 times 12 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 14.22 * 12 / 1 = 170.64 inches
Answer is: 170.64 inches are equivalent to 14.22 feet.
