Standardizing Warehouse Safety Measurements

A safety inspector is recording the height of a 66-inch tall storage rack for a warehouse compliance report. The report requires all dimensions to be documented in feet. Describe the step-by-step process of converting this 66-inch measurement to feet using a conversion factor. Your explanation should identify the two possible conversion factors that can be formed from the relationship between feet and inches, specify which factor correctly cancels the unwanted unit, and explain the principle of treating unit labels like algebraic factors to reach the final result.
