The most appropriate unit conversion in this scenario would be:

**Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12 inches/1 foot.**

This conversion makes sense as you're translating the distance from feet to inches, and it directly uses the conversion factor (12 inches in 1 foot).

So, the calculation would be as follows:

10 feet * (12 inches/1 foot) = 120 inches.

This way, you will have the distance in inches which matches with the speed of the ladybug (3 inches per second), making it easy to calculate the time.
