Note: 1_foot=12_inches


So simply take 510 inches and multiply by the fraction %281_foot%29%2F%2812_inches%29 to convert to feet:

510_inches%28%281_foot%29%2F%2812_inches%29%29=510%2Across%28_inches%29%28%281_foot%29%2F%2812%2Across%28_inches%29%29%29=%28510_feet%29%2F%2812%29=%28510%2F12%29_feet=42.5 feet



So 510 inches=42.5 feet
