3 inches
=
feet

1 answer

To convert inches to feet, you can use the fact that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

To convert 3 inches to feet:

\[ \text{Feet} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{12} \]

So,

\[ \text{Feet} = \frac{3}{12} \]

Now simplify \( \frac{3}{12} \):

\[ \frac{3 \div 3}{12 \div 3} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Therefore,

\[ 3 \text{ inches} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ feet} \]
