In a certain ancient kingdom, the length of a foot was the length of the current king’s foot. If the newly crowned monarch had a 12 inch foot as opposed to the 10 inch foot of his predecessor, a formerly 300 foot fence would now have a length of how many feet? (Assume that the length of an inch remains constant.)

Since the length of an inch remains constant, let’s convert the two “foot” systems to inches.
Now, since each old foot is 10 inches, 300 old feet = 300 x 10 = 3000 inches. Since each new foot is 12 inches, we see that 3000 inches = 3000/12 = 250 new feet.
