Question

How many inches are there in a 2-storey building?

Answer 1

In the above question, we have to find out a 2-storey building in terms of inches. We know that 1 storey is equal to 10 feet. We have to convert these feet to inches and then accordingly, we can convert 2-storey buildings into inches.

Complete step by step solution
We know one storey of a building is equal to 10 feet and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
So, basically 1 storey = ${{10 \times 12 = 120}}$ inches.
Hence, 2 storey = ${{120 \times 2 = 240}}$ inches.
So, there are 240 inches in a 2 storey building.

Additional Information
Houses commonly have only one or two floors. According to the level a building has, buildings are often classified as low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise. A single-storey house is also known as a bungalow. The height of each storey is based on the ceiling height of the rooms plus the thickness of the floors between each pane. Generally, this is around 10 feet total but can be higher.
In English, the principal floor or main floor of a house is the floor that contains the chief apartments; it is usually the ground floor, or the floor above.
The attic or loft is a storey just below the building's roof. A basement is a storey below the main or ground floor; the first (or only) basement of a home is also called the lower ground floor.

Note
In order to solve these type of questions, we have to remember the conversion that:
1 storey = 10 feet.
1 feet= 12 inches.
