🧮 Conversion Formulas
Feet & Inches to Decimal
decimal feet = feet + (inches ÷ 12)
Steps:
1. Divide inches by 12

2. Decimal part × 12 = inches
Example:
10.75 feet
Feet: 10
Inches: 0.75 × 12 = 9"
Result: 10' 9"
How to convert feet+inches to feet
1 foot is equal to 12 inches:
1ft = 12″
The distance d in feet (ft) is equal to the distance d in feet (ft) plus the distance d in inches (″) divided by 12:
d(ft) = d(ft) + d(″)/12
Example
Convert 2 feet + 3 inches to feet:
d(ft) = 2ft + 3″/12 = 2.25ft
