140 inches is equivalent to 11.6666666666667 feet.

We know (by definition) that: 1 in ≈ 0.083333333 ft

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of feet.

1   in 140   in ≈ 0.083333333   ft x   ft

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x   ft ≈ 140   in 1   in * 0.083333333   ft → x   ft ≈ 11.666666619999999   ft

Conclusion: 140   in ≈ 11.666666619999999   ft

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 foot is equal to 0.0857142857142857 times 140 inches.

It can also be expressed as: 140 inches is equal to 1 0.0857142857142857 feet.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and forty inches is about eleven point six seven feet, or alternatively, a foot is about zero point zero nine times one hundred and forty inches.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Inches

The inch (abbreviation: in or ″) is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement now formally equal to 1⁄36 yard but usually understood as 1⁄12 of a foot. Derived from the Roman uncia (twelfth), inch is also sometimes used to translate related units in other measurement systems, usually understood as deriving from the width of the human thumb. Traditional standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 2.54 cm.

Feet

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard.

[1] The precision is 15 significant digits (fourteen digits to the right of the decimal point).
