Question

The ratio between inches and feet is always 12 to 1. In math class, Jada measured the length of the whiteboard. She found that it is 6 feet long.
How many inches long is the whiteboard?

Answer 1

To convert the length of the whiteboard from feet to inches, we can use the ratio that 1 foot equals 12 inches. Since the whiteboard is 6 feet long, we can calculate the length in inches by multiplying:

\[
6 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 72 \text{ inches}
\]

Therefore, the whiteboard is 72 inches long.
