Question 9353: What is the answer for the number of inches in x feet?
Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! start with the definition:
1 foot = 12 inches
--> 2 feet = 12*2
--> 3 feet = 12*3
--> 4 feet = 12*4
so
--> x feet = 12*x
that is your answer.
For anything like this, you can always start from first principles, look at numerical examples, find the pattern and then create the "general" version.
