Not trying to be difficult, but .75 x 12 = 9" not 8" unless I'm doing something wrong. Great video tip though

@flash.banger 2 года назад

Sorry I'm too late as well but yes it's 9 for sure

@ØrjanNikolaisen 9 лет назад

I'm no expert, but as far as I know, 12*0.75=9, not 8 >

in tried this idea several times and keep getting 9. ok time to read the comments below. i guess im not the only one with a faulty calculator

Thank you for the explanation, but those are simple to figure. What about the following: My garage door has a 9' wide opening and my truck is 6'.67" wide. When I subtract these figures, I'm left with 2'.33". How do you convert the .67" or the .33" to a fraction of an inch? Thank you.

¾ of a foot is 9"

With all respect. You should redo this video. At the beginning you said: Quoate: There are 10 inches in a foot. Then you said it right but that will confused some people. Thank you for the video

@melissabjorklund9309 3 года назад

Am I dumb or isn't 3/4 of a foot 9 inches?

@codymitchell8894 Год назад

Thought I was losing it when I kept getting nine

He made a mistake. But the concept was right.

@SL1CK1307 3 года назад

im glad he hasn't fixed it, only people that try it out and fully understand the method will catch that mistake.

@renayesense999 11 лет назад

This should be corrected.

@nivramnivrats 14 лет назад

8 would be 2/3 of 12, but everyone knows that

@manuelasitimbay6892 Месяц назад

3/4 of 12 is 9.....😊😅

With respect, Good attempt but your results are incorrect as stated already in the comments below. Should redo this video so as not to confuse the young children watching this.
