When working with measurements, it's often necessary to convert between different units. In this case, we're going to convert an area of 144 inches by 120 inches to feet.
Understanding the conversion factor
Before we start the conversion, let's understand the conversion factor between inches and feet. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so:
1 foot = 12 inches
Converting the length and width
To convert the length and width from inches to feet, we'll divide each dimension by 12.
Length (144 inches)

Now that we have the length and width in feet, we can calculate the area in square feet.
Area = Length x Width
Area = 12 feet x 10 feet = 120 square feet
Therefore, an area of 144 inches by 120 inches is equivalent to 120 square feet.
