To convert 6 feet 1 inch to inches, you need to first convert the feet to inches and then add the remaining inches.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so to convert 6 feet to inches, you would multiply 6 by 12:
6 feet x 12 inches/foot = 72 inches
Then, you would add the remaining 1 inch to get the final result:
72 inches + 1 inch = 73 inches
Therefore, 6 feet 1 inch is equal to 73 inches.
Real-life example:
Let’s say you are measuring the height of a door frame, and it is 6 feet 1 inch tall. To calculate the height in inches, you would convert the feet to inches (6 feet x 12 inches/foot = 72 inches) and then add the remaining inch (72 inches + 1 inch = 73 inches). So, the door frame is 73 inches tall.
