Question

If I stand 18 hands tall and i am an even 6ft tall,my horse standes 17.2 hands tall how tall is he in inches?

Answer 1

A hand is four inches.  

4" x 17.2 = 68.8"

Answer 2

When referring to the height of horses, .2 means 2 inches.

17.2 hands is 70 inches tall

Answer 3

Why the heck are you measuring in hands?

Answer 4

1 hand = 4 inches

17.2 times 4 is 68.8 inches

Answer 5

at 1.72 metres the horse will be 5 foot 7 inches, how many inches per foot? I only work in Metric.

Answer 6

6*12=72 your height in inches

72/18=4 (inches per hand)

17.2*4=68.8 inches tall

Answer 7

well if 18 hands = 6ft then 1 ft is worth 3 hands

to convert the horses height of 17.2 hands to ft /3

17.2/3 = 5 11/15

for every foot there are 12 inches

5 11/15  X 12 =  68.8inches

i hope this is right :-)
