To fill in the missing values in the table for conversion between feet and inches, we need to know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

  1. For 24 inches, to convert to feet: \( \text{Feet} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{12} = \frac{24}{12} = 2 \) feet.

  2. For 4 feet, to convert to inches: \( \text{Inches} = \text{Feet} \times 12 = 4 \times 12 = 48 \) inches.

  3. For 5 feet, to convert to inches: \( \text{Inches} = \text{Feet} \times 12 = 5 \times 12 = 60 \) inches.

  4. For 60 inches, to convert to feet: \( \text{Feet} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{12} = \frac{60}{12} = 5 \) feet.

Now filling in the table:

Feet | Inches --- | --- 2 | 24 3 | 36 4 | 48 5 | 60 5 | 60

The missing values are:

  • Feet column (first blank) = 2
  • Inches for 4 feet = 48
  • Inches for 5 feet (already provided) = 60
  • Feet for 60 inches = 5 (already provided)

So in summary:

  • The first blank (for 24 inches) should be filled with 2.
  • The second blank (for 4 feet) should be filled with 48.
  • The fourth blank (for 5 feet) is already 60.

Final entries:

  • Foot for 24 inches = 2
  • Inches for 4 feet = 48
