Answer: \( 5.9167 \) feet (approximately \( 5 \) feet \( 11 \) inches)
Explanation: To convert inches to feet, divide the number of inches by \( 12 \) (since there are \( 12 \) inches in a foot).
Steps:
- Divide \( 71 \) by \( 12 \):
\[
\frac{71}{12} \approx 5.9167
\]
- The whole number part is \( 5 \) feet.
- To find the remaining inches, take \( 0.9167 \times 12 \approx 11 \) inches.
Thus, \( 71 \) inches is approximately \( 5 \) feet \( 11 \) inches.
