🧮 Conversion Formulas
Decimal to Feet+Inches
1. Whole number = feet
2. Decimal part × 12 = inches
Example:
5.75 feet
Feet = 5
Inches = 0.75 × 12 = 9
Result: 5' 9"
Feet+Inches to Decimal
decimal = feet + (inches ÷ 12)
Example:
5' 9"
= 5 + (9 ÷ 12)
= 5 + 0.75
= 5.75 feet
How to convert feet to feet+inches
1 inch is equal to 1/12 feet:
1″ = 1/12ft = 0.083333ft
The integer distance d in feet (ft) is equal to the floor integer value distance d in feet (ft):
dint(ft) = ⌊d(ft)⌋
The additional distance d in inches (″) is equal to 12 times the whole distance d in inches (″) minus the integer disatance d in feet (ft):
d(″) = 12×(d(ft) – dint(ft))
Example
Convert 3.75 feet to feet+inches:
d(ft) = ⌊3.75ft⌋ = 3ft
d(″) = 12×(3.75ft-3ft) = 9″
