Frequently Asked Questions
There are exactly 12 inches in one foot. This has been the standard since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, where 1 foot = 0.3048 meters and 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
Multiply the feet by 12 and add the remaining inches. For example, 5 feet 8 inches = (5 × 12) + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68 inches. The formula is: total inches = (feet × 12) + inches.
5 feet 6 inches equals 66 inches. The calculation is: (5 × 12) + 6 = 60 + 6 = 66 inches. This is a common height (about 167.64 cm or 1.6764 meters).
The number 12 was chosen because it has many divisors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12), making it easy to divide into halves, thirds, and quarters. This base-12 system dates back to ancient civilizations including the Romans, who used the word “uncia” (twelfth) for the inch.
Use a tape measure or ruler marked in inches. Count the total inches, then divide by 12 to get feet and use the remainder as inches. For example, 70 inches ÷ 12 = 5 remainder 10, so 70 inches = 5 feet 10 inches (written as 5′10″).
