How to Convert Feet to Feet and Inches?

1 inch is equal to 1/12 feet:

1″ = 1/12ft = 0,083333 ft

The whole number distance ‘d’ measured in feet (ft) corresponds to the largest preceding whole number value of distance ‘d’ in feet (ft):

d_int(ft) = ⌊d_(ft)⌋

The additional distance d in inches (″) is equal to 12 times the total distance d in inches (″) minus the integer distance d in feet (ft):

d_(″) = 12×(d_(ft) – d_int(ft))

Example

Consider a power cable that needs to be installed, and its length is given as 15.75 decimal feet. To convert this length into feet and inches:

Step 1: Convert the decimal part to inches.

0.75 decimal feet = 0.75 * 12 = 9 inches.

Step 2: Add the converted decimal inches to the whole feet value.

15 feet + 9 inches = 15 feet 9 inches.

Therefore, the length of the power cable is 15 feet 9 inches, which is a crucial measurement for accurately determining the cable’s installation requirements within an electrical setup.
