Converting Feet and Inches to Total Inches
A real-world measurement is often already written as feet and inches together, such as 5 ft 7 in. You can express that entirely in inches by converting the whole-foot part and adding the remaining inches.
First convert the feet: 5 × 12 = 60 inches.
Then add the remaining inches: 60 + 7 = 67 inches.
So 5 ft 7 in = 67 in. In general: total inches = (feet × 12) + remaining inches.
