Example Question #20 : Measurement & Data

How many inches

Possible Answers:

174

192

182

Correct answer:

192

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

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

$\frac{1\ foot}{12\ inches}=\frac{16\ feet}{x\ inches}$

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

$12\ inches\times 16\ feet= 1\ foot \times x\ inches$

$\frac{12\ inches\times 16\ feet}{1\ foot}= 192\ inches$

The $\yards$ $\ feet$ will cancel and we are left with $192\ inches$
