Question

Michael’s dog is 30 inches tall. Find the height of his dog in feet and inches.

  1. 3 feet 2 inches    
  2. 3 feet    
  3. 2 feet    
  4. 2 feet 6 inches    

hintHint:

1 inch=1 over 12 foot

The correct answer is: 2 feet 6 inches


    1 foot = 12 inches
    Or 12 inches = 1 foot
    1 inch = fraction numerator 1 over denominator 12 end fraction foot
    So, 30 inches = 1 over 12 cross times 30 feet
    = 2 feet 6 inches, where 2 is the numerator  and 6 is the remainder which we get when we divide 30 by 12.
    So the height of Michael's dog is 2 feet 6 inches.

    Remember the conversion formula from inch to foot.
