There are 152 inches in 12 and 2/3 feet.
How was this answer reached? Well, there are 12 inches in every foot, so your first step in solving this question is to multiply 12 feet by 12 inches.
Of course, 12 x 12 = 144.
That solves the first part. You now have 144 inches and 2/3 of a foot, and your next step is determine how many inches are in those two-thirds.
To start you need to take 2/3 and transform it into a decimal number. This is done by dividing 2 by 3, which has an answer of 0.67 (or 0.6666666666666667, but that's just unwieldy so it's easier to round it up a little).
Next, just take 12 and multiply it by 0.67. If done correctly, you should get an answer of 8.04. Knock off that 0.04; it's only hanging around because of the rounding up you did earlier.
Now that you know the value of 2/3 of a foot, just add it to the value of 12 feet like so: 144 + 8 = 152
Converting inches into is a little more complicated. First, take 152 and divide it by 12 to end up with an answer of 12.66 recurring. You already know that there are 12 feet in 152 inches, but how do you convert the decimal into a fraction?
This time, you're going to want to use 0.6666666666666667 in all its overlong glory. Multiply it by 100 to get 66.66666666666667, and then pop that number above 100 to create the fraction 66.66666666666667/100.
From here, you're going to have to reduce the fraction to its lowest possible terms. Start by reducing the numerator (66.-etc) to a value of 1 by dividing it by itself. What happens when you divide 100 by the numerator? You get a sum of 1.5, which isn't your answer because you're looking for a whole number.
To reduce the numerator to 2, first multiply it by 0.5. To get 33.33333333333335. Divide 100 by this long string of threes and what do you get? 2.99 recurring. As 2.99 is practically 3, you can successfully convert 0.6666666666666667 into a fraction of 2/3.
So there you have it, feet to inches and inches to feet both ways.
