Convert 75 feet 6 inches to decimal feet.

• A. 75.5
• B. 75.6
• C. 75.75
• D. 75.25

Answer: (A)

Converting feet and inches to decimal feet uses the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot. The extra 6 inches is 6/12 = 0.5 of a foot. So 75 feet plus 0.5 foot equals 75.5 feet. The other decimal feet options would correspond to different inch amounts: 0.6 feet is 7.2 inches, 0.75 feet is 9 inches, and 0.25 feet is 3 inches, none of which match the given 6 inches.
