Witch one is greater 500 inches or 40 feet

Using the fact that the ratio from inches to feet is 12:1 we can multiply 40 by 12 to find the measure of 40 feet in inches. We get 480 because 40 x 12 is 480. Since 500>480 this means that 500 inches is greater than 40 feet.

500 inches bc 40 ft x 12 = 480

500>480
