Reverse Example:

Problem: Convert 6.5 feet to inches

Step 1: 6.5 × 12

Quick Mental Math

🧮Divide by 12

The only way to convert inches to feet.

36" ÷ 12 = 3 ft (perfect!)

🎯Fraction Trick

Every 6" = 0.5 ft, so 18" = 1.5 ft, 30" = 2.5 ft

18" = 1.5 ft (1' 6")

Memory trick: One foot = exactly 12 inches. Think of a ruler - that's one foot!
