I think it is originally a British unit of length, equal to the length of a foot, created by tradesmen so they could record and plan lengths.\n\nThe "Official" foot was the lenght of the foot of the king - which is awkward, since it will change as kings change.\n\nEdit: hmm.. I got most of it right... here is the text from Wikipedia:\nThe foot as a measure was used in almost all cultures. The first known standard foot measure was from Sumeria, where a definition is given in a statue of Gudea of Lagash from around 2575 BC. The imperial foot was adapted from an Egyptian measure by the Greeks, with a subsequent larger foot being adopted by the Romans.\n\nThe popular belief is that original standard was the length of a man's foot. The original measurement was from King Henry I, who had a foot 12 inches long; he wished to standardise the unit of measurement in England. The average foot length is about 9.4 inches (240 mm) for current Europeans. Approximately 996 out of 1000 British men have a foot that is less than 12 inches long. A plausible explanation for the missing inches is that the measure did not refer to a naked foot, but to the length of footwear. This is consistent with the measure being convenient for practical purposes such as on building sites etc. People almost always pace out lengths whilst wearing shoes or boots, rather than removing them and pacing barefoot.

it is all fractions such as u take one foot and turn it into one inch that would be 1';1" pretty easy if you have one foot and you turn it into 1/2 a inch then it would be say 5feet times 1/2

i know theres a measurement called hand and arm and foot and stuff. as in 1 hand is the length of your hand. and 1 foot is the length of your foot. so maybe 1 ear is the length of your ear? or maybe itz a typo and itz a year. and its a time measurement?

I just remember that 12 inch = 1 foot.  Now I just play with dimensional analysis till the answer appears. A dimension is the "inch" and "foot". dimensional analysis is the theory that you can multiply and divide by any of these dimensions like it was an unknown in algebra.\n\n`````12 inch = 1 foot (1)\n\nmultiply both sides by 6.25 / 12\n\n````` 6.25 inch = (6.25 / 12) foot = (625 foot) / 1200 = (125 foot)/240 = (25/48)foot ~= 0.5208333....
