Transcript text: Faye is 4 ft 10 in tall. Convert her height to inches.
Solution
Solution Steps
To convert Faye's height from feet and inches to just inches, we need to multiply the number of feet by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot) and then add the remaining inches.
Step 1: Convert Feet to Inches
Faye's height is given as 4 feet and 10 inches. To convert the feet to inches, we use the conversion factor that 1 foot equals 12 inches. Therefore, we calculate the inches from the feet as follows:
\[
4 \text{ feet} \times 12 \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{foot}} = 48 \text{ inches}
\]
Step 2: Add Remaining Inches
Next, we add the remaining 10 inches to the total inches calculated from the feet:
\[
48 \text{ inches} + 10 \text{ inches} = 58 \text{ inches}
\]
