To convert between feet and inches, use the conversion factor that 1 foot equals 12 inches.

Let's fill in the missing values in the table:

  1. For 24 feet: \( 24 \text{ feet} = 24 \times 12 = 288 \text{ inches} \)

  2. For 3 feet: We already have the conversion provided: \( 3 \text{ feet} = 36 \text{ inches} \)

  3. For 4 feet: \( 4 \text{ feet} = 4 \times 12 = 48 \text{ inches} \)

  4. For 5 feet: \( 5 \text{ feet} = 5 \times 12 = 60 \text{ inches} \)

  5. For 60 inches: To convert inches back to feet: \( 60 \text{ inches} = \frac{60}{12} = 5 \text{ feet} \)

Now, filling in the table:

| Feet | Inches | |------|--------| | 24 | 288 | | 3 | 36 | | 4 | 48 | | 5 | 60 | | | 60 |

Here are the missing values:

  • The value for 24 feet is 288 inches.
  • The value for 4 feet is 48 inches.
  • The value for 5 feet is already provided as 60 inches.
  • The value for 60 inches is already provided as 5 feet.

So, the completed answers are:

  • For 24 feet: 288
  • For 4 feet: 48
  • For 5 feet: 60 (already provided)
  • For 60 inches: 5 (already obtained)
