You're 66 Inches Tall. But What Does That Mean in Feet?

We often run into measurements in inches. A new TV is 55 inches. The instructions for a bookshelf say it's 72 inches tall. Your friend tells you their newborn baby is 20 inches long.

While inches are great for precision, we often describe larger lengths, especially height, in feet and inches. We know there are 12 inches in a foot, but doing the division and figuring out the remainder in your head can be a small but surprisingly annoying mental chore. Is 66 inches 5-foot-5 or 5-foot-6? A simple converter clears up the confusion instantly.

Pro-Tip: The Formula is Simple

Want to understand the math behind it? Just divide the number of inches by 12.

• 66 / 12 = 5.5. The whole number (5) is your feet. The decimal (0.5) is half a foot, and half of 12 inches is 6 inches. So, 66 inches is 5 feet and 6 inches!
