Question

Convert each of the following Imperial Units from decimals into fractions. 

a) 12.4 inches 

b) 6.75 yards  

Answer 1

12.4= 12 2/5 = 62/5 in

= 1 ft and 2/5 inch = 6' 2/5"

someone asks how tall you are, say "six two" and drop your voice to a whispter on the ending "fifths" add another 1 3/5 inches to your height... easier than elevator shoes or high heels. You trip less too.

6.75= 6 3/4= 27/4 yds
