Convert Inches to Feet
1 inch is 0.08 ft. One inch is exactly 0.0833333333333 feet.
One inch is 0.083333333 feet. To convert inches to feet, multiply by 0.083333333; to go the other way, divide by 0.083333333 or multiply by 12. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST. Exactly 25.4 millimeters since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, and one twelfth of a foot.
