Once I made a mistake: I made a huge mistake and made a whole problem wrong and it was a tiny little mix-up, I forgot to convert ft. to in. Ha! My dad ended up helping me and he told me this, If you are converting ft. to in. then you / 12 and if you are converting in. to ft. then you x 12. I have struggled with this a while, but I finally got it right. I haven’t really had a real life connection, so I will just tell you a time where I messed up, so I was baby sitting for some people from church, and the kids were watching a movie, their mom and dad wanted them in bed at 8:00 (p.m.). The kids really wanted to watch the kids really wanted to watch one specific part of the movie, so, it being my first time, I let them, and they ended up getting to bed at like 9:17 (p.m.), oops… he,yeah, thankfully I didn’t get in trouble, so ha!
