Simplify Imperial Measurements
Our Feet and Inches Calculator makes it easy to add or subtract imperial length measurements, eliminating manual conversion errors.
What is a Feet and Inches Calculator?
A Feet and Inches Calculator is a specialized tool designed to simplify arithmetic with imperial length units. Instead of manually converting everything to a common unit (like inches), performing the calculation, and then converting back, this calculator allows you to directly input two measurements in feet and inches and instantly find their sum or difference. It's an essential tool for construction, crafts, and any project involving imperial measurements.
How It Works: Adding & Subtracting
The calculator follows these steps:
- Convert to Inches: It converts both input measurements entirely into inches. For example, 5' 8\" becomes 68 inches.
- Perform Operation: It then adds or subtracts the total inches of the second measurement from the first.
- Convert Back: The final result in total inches is then converted back into the standard feet and inches format for an easy-to-read answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you add feet and inches?
To add feet and inches, first add the inches together. If the total is 12 or more, divide by 12. The whole number is the extra feet to carry over, and the remainder is the final inches. Then, add all the feet together (including the carry-over). Our calculator automates this process.
How do you convert feet and inches to just inches?
To convert feet and inches to total inches, multiply the number of feet by 12 and then add the number of inches. For example, 5 feet 8 inches is 68 inches (5 * 12 + 8).
