The length of the kitchen counter top in Malia's apartment is 5 feet 6 inches. How many inches long is Malia's counter top.

Answer 1

Given:

The length of the counter top is 5 ft 6 3/8 in.

To calculate: The length in inches.

As we know, 1 foot is equal to 12 in, 5 ft will be equal to,

$5ft\times\frac{12\text{ in}}{1\text{ ft}}=60\text{ in}$

Thus, the total length is,

$60\text{ in+6 }\frac{3}{8}\text{in =}60in+6.375\text{ in}=66.375\text{ in}$

Thus, the counter top is 66.375 in long.
