How to Convert Inches to Feet?

Inches to Feet Formula

The inches to feet formula is simple. Start by dividing your number of inches by 12. This gives you the total in feet. If you want to convert a figure that isn’t a whole number, you’ll need to convert the decimal to inches. Most conversion calculators will do this for you, or you can multiply the decimal by 12 to get the equivalent in inches.

1 inch is equal to 1/12 feet:

1″ = 1/12 ft = 0,083333 ft

The measurement denoted as ‘d’ in feet (ft) can be calculated by dividing the measurement ‘d’ in inches (″) by a factor of 12:

d_(ft) = d_(″) / 12

Examples

Example 1:

Consider a common household item, the incandescent light bulb. Most 60-watt bulbs are around 4.5 inches in length. To better visualize this, let’s convert it to feet. 4.5 inches is equivalent to 0.375 feet, as 1 foot equals 12 inches. This simple conversion helps us grasp the bulb’s size in a more relatable unit – around 0.375 feet long.

Example 2:

Let’s delve into power strip design. A standard power strip, commonly found in offices, measures about 12 inches in length. Converting this to feet gives us 1 foot, as 12 inches make up a foot. This conversion aids in understanding the layout of the power strip, which is approximately 1 foot long. This is crucial for determining its fit on desks or behind furniture for convenient access to electrical outlets.
