Here's how to calculate that:

* There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

* Divide 52 inches by 12 inches/foot: 52 inches / 12 inches/foot = 4.33 feet

* The whole number (4) represents the number of full feet.

* Multiply the decimal part (0.33) by 12 to find the remaining inches: 0.33 feet * 12 inches/foot = 4 inches
