Details About Conversion Process  From 72 Inches In Feet

Before going to convert from 72 inches in feet, we have to be clear about the basic system of measurement. There are four different systems internationally approved to define the basic physical quantities like length, mass, time, etc. These systems of measurement are C.G.S, F.P.S, M.K.S, and S.I. The basic unit of length in the C.G.S system is a Centimeter, in the F.P.S system is a Foot and in the M.K.S and S.I system, it is a Meter.

The F.P.S. system of measurement is also called as British measurement System. In this measurement system, the unit of length is the foot. Feet is the plural form of foot. “Inch” is a small unit derived from the foot and is a value for measuring the length, height, distance, or width of the substances. The small and big units from the basic unit have been derived to measure the quantity more conveniently.

Further, the foot is subdivided into inches. One foot is equal to twelve inches. In the reverse way, we can say that 12 inches = 1 foot. Therefore, 72 inches = (1/12) x 72 feet = 6 feet.

Hence, if anyone asks you to derive 72 inches in feet, or how many feet is equal to 72 inches? You can say easily and more confidently that the answer will be 6 feet. In short form, we can write  72 in = 6.0 ft. 

The conversion factor from inches to feet:

As discussed earlier, 12 inches = 1 foot. Therefore 1 inch = (1/ 12) foot. Now (1/12) = 0.0833333333….. Hence the conversion factor from inches to feet is 0.083333333. Now we can calculate easily any value of length expressed in inches to the feet. Let us suppose, 84 inches to be converted to feet. We can easily calculate it. Simply multiply 84 by the conversion factor. The value will be 84 x 0.0833333…. = 6.999999… feet or 7.0 feet.

The mathematical formula can be used to calculate the 72 inches in feet. Let us suppose, Y inches to be converted into feet. The formula will be 

Y (in) x 0.0833333333333 = X ft, 

where, X = the result after conversion, and Y = the value to be converted into feet.

Applying the concept of proportions:

We know that,

1 (in) is equal to 0.0833333333 (ft).

Then, 72.0 (in) is equal to 72.0 x 0.08333333 (ft). This product will answer. Here it is 6.0 ft.

By using an offline calculator:

We can use the calculator to convert any value expressed in one unit to another unit. It may be from inches to feet or feet to inches, centimeters to feet or feet to centimeter, meter to feet, or vice versa.

By using an online converter:

We can use the basic online converter on the web page to convert any unit of length and distance between inches and feet in any direction. 

Now we are considering 72 inches to be converted into inches. Just we have to put 72 in the field of inches, immediately we can get the result in feet. In this way, we can get the result in feet for any value of length expressed in inches. 

Apart from the methods mentioned above to convert the value of one unit to another, there are other two methods we can use for the same.

1. Visual charts for conversion of units of length
2. The graphical representation of scales.

How to convert inches to feet through an online calculator?

The following three steps to be followed to convert from inches to feet through the online calculator–

Step 1: Put the value of the length in inches, in the respective input option of the online calculator.

Step 2: See the “Calculate” button. Press it to convert inches into feet.

Step 3: look on the screen. The value from inches to feet will appear on the screen.

To understand more clearly, let us take an example to convert the value from inches to feet.

Suppose, we have to know the actual value of 72 inches in feet.

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches 

Or, 12 inches = 1 foot

Hence, 1 inch = (1/12) foot.

Therefore, 72 inches = (1/12) x72 feet =6 feet. Or 6.0 ft or 6.0”

In this way, you can calculate or convert any value of inches to feet or vice versa.

Please note that, 1 inch = (1/12) foot. 

  = 0.083333 ft

You can take (0.083333) as a conversion factor to convert directly from inches to feet.

How to get the value of length expressed in one unit to another unit after conversion:

Now let us consider the conversion process from inches to feet in a tabular form–

Inches	Foot / Feet
12	1
24	2
36	3
48	4
60	5
72	6
84	7
96	8
108	9
120	10

Apart from the conversion process mentioned above, we can convert feet into centimeters or meters, or even into yards and vice versa. 

Centimeter to feet conversion:

Always try to keep in mind that,

1 cm = 0.0328084 feet

And,  1 foot = 30.48 cm

From this conversion factor, we can convert any value from one unit to another

Yard to feet conversion:

Here also, you have to keep in mind that,

1 yard = 3 feet

Or, one foot = (⅓) yard = 0.333333 yard

We can convert any value from yard to foot and vice versa.

Yard to inches:

1 yard = 36 inches

1 inch = (1/36) yard = 0.0277778 yard

We can convert any value from yards to inches or vice versa.

Wrapping Word:

In the last word,  we can say that not only “72 inches in feet” is the only calculation to find out the actual value of length. We have tried to understand throughout the article that we can get any value of length after conversion from one unit to another. There are some relations among all units and we have to keep in our mind the conversion factor. Then we can easily get the desired result within a few seconds.
