How many tenths are in a foot?

There are 12 inches in a foot, and if you’re considering tenths of a foot, you would divide the foot into 10 equal parts.

So, there are 10 tenths in a foot.

Let’s break it down further:

1. One foot is 12 inches:
   • A foot is divided into 12 inches, so one inch is 1/12th of a foot.
2. Dividing a foot into tenths:
   • When you want to express a foot in terms of tenths, you divide it into 10 equal parts.
   • 1 foot = 10 tenths of a foot.
3. Conversion of inches to tenths:
   • If 1 foot = 12 inches, and you want to convert 1 foot into tenths, you divide 12 inches by 10.
   • 12 inches ÷ 10 = 1.2 inches per tenth.

So, when we say there are 10 tenths in a foot, each tenth of a foot is equivalent to 1.2 inches.

In summary:

• 1 foot = 10 tenths of a foot
• Each tenth of a foot = 1.2 inches.
