Is your question reference to the length of
Teddy Roosevelt's moustache on Mount Rushmore?
The model moustache is 1 ft 8 in = 12 in + 8 in = 20 inches
The actual carving is 1 ft per inch so the mustache is 20 ft long.
*******************************************
George Washington's face on the monument is 60 ft and
each foot would be represented by 1 inch on the model
so George Washington's face on the model was 60 inches tall.
That equates to 60/12 = 5 feet

1 foot = 12 inches
(60 inches)/(12 inches per foot) = 5 feet
