Answer for screen readers

The total height in inches is ( 58 ) inches.

Steps to Solve

  1. Convert Feet to Inches

First, we need to know how many inches are in a foot. There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

To convert 4 feet into inches:

$$ 4 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 48 \text{ inches} $$

  1. Add Additional Inches

Now, we add the additional inches (10 inches) to the total inches we have from the feet conversion:

$$ 48 \text{ inches} + 10 \text{ inches} = 58 \text{ inches} $$

The total height in inches is ( 58 ) inches.

More Information

When converting measurements, it's important to know the conversion factors (like 12 inches in a foot). This approach can be used for other measurements, too!

Tips

  • Forgetting the conversion factor for feet to inches. Always remember that 1 foot equals 12 inches.
  • Adding the heights incorrectly. Make sure to double-check your addition.
