To convert the minimum length of the NFL football from feet to inches, you multiply the length in feet by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).

Given that the minimum length of the NFL football is ( \frac{87}{96} ) feet, you can calculate the length in inches as follows:

[ \text{Minimum length in inches} = \left( \frac{87}{96} \right) \times 12 ]

[ \text{Minimum length in inches} = \frac{87}{96} \times 12 ]

[ \text{Minimum length in inches} = \frac{87 \times 12}{96} ]

[ \text{Minimum length in inches} = \frac{1044}{96} ]

[ \text{Minimum length in inches} \approx 10.875 ]

Therefore, the minimum length for an official football in inches is approximately 10.875 inches.
