There are twelve inches in one foot and three feet in one yard.

The standardization of weights and measures has left several different standardized foot measures. The most commonly used foot today is the imperial foot, which is defined to be exactly 0.3048 metres. This unit is sometimes denoted with a prime (e.g. 30′ means 30 feet), often approximated by an apostrophe. Similarly, inches can be denoted by a double prime (often approximated by a quotation mark), so 6′2″ means 6 feet 2 inches.

The 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 LagashLagash or Sirpurla was one of the oldest cities of Sumer and later Babylonia.
