What is Inches to Feet Conversion?
Inches (in) and feet (ft) are both units of length, like how you might measure the height of a person or the length of a table. They are part of the imperial system, which is commonly used in the United States. Inches are for smaller measurements, while feet are used for larger ones.
This converter makes it super easy to change measurements from inches to feet, and vice-versa.
The Conversion: 1 ft = 12 in
1 foot = 12 inches
There are exactly twelve inches in every foot. Think of a standard ruler – it's one foot long, and it's divided into 12 one-inch sections.
Example: If a picture frame is 24 inches tall, that's 24 / 12 = 2 feet tall.
Another Example: If your desk is 36 inches long then, 36 / 12 = 3 feet tall.
