Question

A door is 4/1/2 feet wide. How many inches wide is the door

Answer 1

54 inches

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

1/2 = 6 inches

4 • 12= 48+6=54

Answer 2

To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12, since there are 12 inches in one foot.

4 1/2 feet can be written as 4 + 1/2 feet.

4 feet x 12 inches/foot = 48 inches

1/2 foot x 12 inches/foot = 6 inches

Therefore, the total width of the door in inches is:

48 inches + 6 inches = 54 inches
