Person measuring a piece of wood for accurate construction

Take measurements with a tape measure in inches.

STEP 2: FIND FEET

Divide the total inches by 12 to get the number of feet.

Inch 12 = Feet

STEP 3: FEET

Subtract the Decimal value from the result in feet.

Example 5.8 ft - 0.8 ft = 5’ft

STEP 4: FIND INCH

Divide the total inches by 12 to get the number of feet.

Feet 12 = Inch

Step 5: Remaining Inches

Equation showing calculation of the remaining inches

Take the total inches and subtract the inches equivalent to the full feet to find the remainder.

Example

you have 5’ft 8”in
5’ft x 12 = 60”in

*Add the extra 8”in
60”in + 8”in = 68”in

*Subtract the full ft in inches (60”in) from the total inches (68”in);
68”in-60”in= 8”in

Step 6: merge

Now, merge the full feet from step 3 and the remainder from step 5.
