Question

how many inches long is the sandwich?
(an image of a sandwich with a label of \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) foot below it)
1 foot = 12 inches
\\(\frac{1}{2}\\) foot = \\(\square\\) inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \) foot \( = 12 \) inches.

Step2: Calculate \(\frac{1}{2}\) foot in inches

To find the number of inches in \(\frac{1}{2}\) foot, we multiply the number of inches in 1 foot by \(\frac{1}{2}\). So we calculate \( 12\times\frac{1}{2} \).
\( 12\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{12}{2} = 6 \).

Answer:

6
