Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 10: 12 × 10 ≈ 120 in, against the exact 144 in (16.7% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A foot is bigger than a inch, so the number of inches must come out larger than the number of feet. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
