Example Question #21 : Convert Among Different Sized Standard Measurement Units: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Md.A.1

How many inches are in $15\ feet?$

Possible Answers:

160

170

180

150

140

Correct answer:

180

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that $1\ foot=12\ inches$ , and we can use as our unknown.

$\frac{1\ foot}{12\ inches}=\frac{15\ feet}{x\ inches}$

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.

$12\ inches\times 15\ feet= 1\ foot \times x\ inches$

$\frac{12\ inches\times 15\ feet}{1\ foot}= 180\ inches$

The $\yards$ $\ feet$ will cancel and we are left with $180\ inches$
