How to Convert Inches to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 2.63 inches?
As;
1 inches = 0.083333 feet
2.63 inches = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 2.63 times 0.083333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 2.63 * 0.083333 / 1 = 0.21916579 feet
Answer is: 0.21916579 feet are equivalent to 2.63 inches.
