Answer: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Well you know that a foot is 12 inches. We also know that when it is asking to convert 1/3 of a foot to inches that it is asking us to give one of three of the same numbers that add up to equal 12. So it is asking us to divide.
Question: Convert 1/3 foot to inches. 1 ft. = 12 in.
1/3 × 12/1 = 12/3
Which is the same as if you wrote it like:
12 ÷ 3
12 ÷ 3 = 4
So to convert would be:
1/3 ft. = 4 in.
