Answer: 38.3ft

We need to convert 459.89 inches into feet. Given that 12 inches is equal to 1 foot, we can solve this by dividing the length by 12

[tex]459.89in\times\frac{1ft}{12in}[/tex]

*Cancel the inches sign leaving us with ft

[tex]459.89\times\frac{1ft}{12}=\frac{459.89}{12}ft=38.32\approx38.3[/tex]

Therefore 459.89 inches is equal to 38.3 feet.
