1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to compare 6 feet and 73 inches and determine which is greater.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to convert 6 feet to inches. We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Therefore, to convert feet to inches, we multiply the number of feet by
1
2.
1 foot=12 inches1 \text{ foot} = 12 \text{ inches}
6 feet=6×12 inches6 \text{ feet} = 6 \times 12 \text{ inches}
6×12=726 \times 12 = 72
6 feet=72 inches6 \text{ feet} = 72 \text{ inches}
Now we compare 72 inches (which is equal to 6 feet) and 73 inches.
Since 73>7273 > 72, 73 inches is greater than 6 feet (72 inches).

3. Final Answer

73 inches
