How to Convert Inches to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 96.83 inches?
As;
1 inches = 0.083333 feet
96.83 inches = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 96.83 times 0.083333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 96.83 * 0.083333 / 1 = 8.06913439 feet
Answer is: 8.06913439 feet are equivalent to 96.83 inches.
