+3454 To solve this, we can use what's called unit multipliers.
Unit multipliers looks like this:
43 inches/1 * 1 ft/12 inches
The first fraction is just the measurement we know (43 inches) over 1.
The second fraction is our conversion rate, so 1ft/12 inches is saying 1 ft = 12 inches.
This is pretty cool, because inches will now cancel, giving us our answer in ft!
43 inches/1*1 ft/12 inches
43 inches/1*1 ft/12 inches
43/1 * 1 ft/12
Now let's just multiply it out like we usually do with two fractions
43 ft/12
which is the same as
3 and 7/12 ft
or
3.58333 ft
