Answer to Problem 40A

The conversion factor of in. to feet is 35.75ft .

Explanation of Solution

The equivalent statement in order to relate feet to inch is as follows:

  1ft=12in.

The above statement leads two conversion factor 12in.1ft or 1ft12in. .

Hence, for converting in. to feet second conversion factor is used.

  1ft12in.×429in.=35.75ft
