Convert foot to linear foot

Learn how to convert 1 foot to linear foot step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (f o o t) = x (l i n e a r f o o t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (f o o t) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i n e a r f o o t) = 0.3048 (m e t e r) = 0.3048 (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (f o o t) = x (l i n e a r f o o t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 0.3048 \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.3048 \cdot (m) = x \times 0.3048 \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.3048 = x \times 0.3048

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

0.3048 = x \times 0.3048

Simplify

1.0 = x

Switch sides

x = 1.0

Solve

x

x = 1

Conversion Equation

1.0 (f o o t) = 1 (l i n e a r f o o t)
