How to Convert Feet to Inches
Converting feet to inches is a fundamental imperial measurement conversion. One foot equals exactly 12 inches.
To convert feet to inches, multiply the feet value by 12. For example, 5 feet x 12 = 60 inches. This conversion is commonly used for height measurements, construction projects, and precise measurements where inches provide better granularity than feet.
This is one of the most basic conversions in the imperial system and is essential for carpentry, sewing, interior design, and everyday measurements in countries using imperial units.
