To determine how many feet are in 20 inches, we need to use the fact that there are 12 inches in 1 foot. Here are the steps to solve this:
1. Understand the Conversion Factor: We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
2. Set Up the Calculation: To convert inches to feet, we divide the number of inches by the number of inches in a foot. In this case, we need to divide 20 inches by 12 inches per foot.
3. Perform the Division:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of feet} = \frac{20 \text{ inches}}{12 \text{ inches/foot}}
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the Result:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of feet} = 1.6666666666666667
\][/tex]
Thus, 20 inches is equal to approximately 1.6666666666666667 feet.
