Answer :
The question on your attachment is different than the question on the post.
On your attachment it ask for 14 1/2 feet = ? inches
First off, there is 12 inches in 1 foot. So we just multiply
14 x 12 = 168
Now we add our 1/2 foot which is 6 inches
168 + 6 = 174
So, 14 1/2 feet = 174 inches.
Now if you want the answer to the question posted 14 1/2 inches = ? feet
Again 12 inches in 1 foot.
14 - 12 = 1.21 feet
Hope this helps.
