Feet to inches multiplies by 12 — 1 ft = 12 in by definition. A 6 ft adult is 72 in; an 8 ft ceiling is 96 in. The factor of 12 is exact and the conversion is the backbone of the US feet-and-inches height format. When a height is given as 5'10", that is 5 × 12 + 10 = 70 in total; flatten to all-inches before doing any further arithmetic, then convert back to feet-and-inches only for display.
Contractors framing a door opening work from a feet-and-inches dimension on the plan but the rough-opening tolerance called out by the door manufacturer is specified purely in inches. A 6 ft 8 in standard door height is 80 in exactly, and the manufacturer's typical 0.5 in tolerance either side means the actual rough opening must land between 79.5 in and 80.5 in. Convert the full feet-and-inches figure to a single inch number before checking it against any manufacturer tolerance table — mixed units are where installation errors creep in.
