Type any inch value and get feet three ways — decimal feet, feet-and-inches, and metric. Below the tool you will find the full chart, the formula, and worked examples.
One foot is exactly 12 inches, so converting inches to feet is a single division: feet = inches ÷ 12. For 60 inches: 60 ÷ 12 = 5 feet exactly.
When the answer is not a whole number, the decimal part is a fraction of a foot — multiply it by 12 to get the leftover inches. Example: 67 inches ÷ 12 = 5.5833 ft. The whole number is 5 feet, and 0.5833 × 12 = 7 inches, so 67 inches is 5 ft 7 in. The converter above does this for you and shows every format at once.

The highlighted row is the one people look up most: 60 inches = 5 feet — the length of a standard bathtub and the width of a queen mattress.
Exactly 12 inches make 1 foot, by international definition. The reverse conversion is inches = feet × 12, so 9 feet is 108 inches.
60 inches is exactly 5 feet (5 ft 0 in), which is also 152.4 cm or 1.524 m. It is the standard length of most bathtubs.
Use the whole feet first, then the remaining inches: 5 ft 7 in. In symbols, feet take a single prime (′) and inches a double prime (″), so 5 ft 7 in is written 5′7″.
Yes — 72 ÷ 12 = 6 exactly, so 72 inches is 6 ft 0 in (182.88 cm). That is why 72-inch sofas and tables are sold as "6-foot" furniture.
