How to add feet and inches?
Our feet and inches calculator's most popular option is add feet and inches. So, if want to find out how to add feet and inches, here's how to do it:
Let's start with an easy example 😌 : 2 ft 3 in + 5 ft 6 in
This equation requires just a simple addition of feet and inches done separately: we're first adding feet 2+5 = 7 ft and then inches 3+6 = 9 in.
We then compile the complete result: 7 ft 9 in.
We only need to make sure that the number of inches is lower than 12 because 12 inches make one foot! This how you can convert inches to feet and inches.
What about adding inches with fractions? 😮 How to add feet and inches in that case? 2 ft 10 14 in + 1 ft 2 916 in
We start by adding feet and inches separately: 2+1=3 ft, 10+2=12 in = 1 ft. 12 inches creates an additional foot. We have 4 feet all together.
Now it's time to solve the fractions 1/4 and 9/16.
In order to do that, we need to find the smallest denominator possible for both of these fractions. Firstly, we'll be looking for the least common multiple (LCM). Our denominators are 4 and 16, so their LCM is 16.
Let's change the denominators so that they're equal to each other and multiply the numerator by the same number as its denominator: (16/4 = 4; in this case we need to multiply them by 4):
14 + 916 = 416 + 916 = 1316 in
Since we've already computed the feet and inches, it's time to compile the results: 4 ft 13/16 in
FAQs
How should I write feet and inches?
We can write the abbreviation for feet as ft – for example, we will write 4 feet as 4 ft. Another way is to write a single apostrophe indicating feet, so 4′ = 4 ft = four feet.
We can write the abbreviation for inches as in. Thus, for ten inches, we will write 10 in. In another way, we can use a double apostrophe – so ten inches we write as 10″.
How many foot are 12 inches?
12 inches (12″) are equal to 1 foot (1 ft). Converting inches to feet is easy. Simply divide the number of inches by 12 and write the rest, e.g. 30 in will be 2 ft 6 in or 2 1/2 ft. The other method is to multiply inches by 0.083. For example, 30 in × 0.083 = 2.50 = 2 1/2 ft.
How can I write 62 inches in feet and inches?
62 inches are 5 feet and 2 inches (5 ft 2 in). To convert 62 inches into feet and inches: Divide 62 inches by 12: 62/12 = 5 R 2. The quotient (5) is the number of feet and the remainder (2) is the number of inches. The answer in feet and inches is 5 ft 2 in.
How can I multiply feet and inches?
Assuming you want to multiply 4 ft 3/8 in by 2 ft, you will get 1161 in². To do it: Convert 4 feet to inches by multiplying 4 by 12: 4 × 12 = 48. Add extra inches: 3/8 = 0.375 in, so 48 + 0.375 = 48.375 in. Convert 2 feet to inches: 2 × 12 = 24. Multiply by 24: 48.375 × 24 = 1161 in².
