How Many Total Inches Is 5′ 6′?

Understanding the Units

• Feet (‘) and Inches (“) are both units of length commonly used in the U.S. and other countries that use the imperial system.
• 1 foot (1′) = 12 inches (“)

Convert Feet to Inches

The height of 5 feet is given, so we need to first convert those 5 feet into inches.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, we multiply:

     5feet×12inches per foot=60inches

Add the Inches

Now, we have the 5 feet converted to 60 inches. But there’s an additional 6 inches, as part of the height is given as 6 inches. To get the total, we simply add the 6 inches:

     60inches+6inches=66inches

 Verification

Let’s verify:

• 5 feet = 60 inches (already calculated).
• Adding the extra 6 inches gives us the total height of 66 inches.

So the total height of 5 feet 6 inches is indeed 66 inches.

Formula Recap:

• Total inches = (Feet × 12) + Inches
• For 5 feet 6 inches:

     Total inches=(5×12)+6=60+6=66inches

Final Answer:

66 inches is the total height when you combine 5 feet and 6 inches.
