i dont know what i did wrong

Implement the getFeetFromInches(int inches) method. The method takes the number of inches. Your task is to make the method return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches. (1 feet = 12 in).

Consider this example:
The getFeetFromInches method is called with the argument 243.

Example output:
20

Requirements:

The getFeetFromInches(int) method must be public and static.
The getFeetFromInches method must return an int.
The getFeetFromInches method should not display anything.
The getFeetFromInches method must correctly return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches.

package com.codegym.task.task01.task0131; /* More conversions */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(getFeetFromInches(20)); } public static int getFeetFromInches(int inches) { inches = 243; int a = inches/ 12; int b = Math.round (a); return b; } }

Hola Andrés como he visto que tu nombre está escrito en español te respondo en español que supongo que asi lo entenderás mejor. Arriba en la linea 10 has modificado el argumento del metodo main, el numero 243 no debes modificarlo y cambiarlo por el numero 20 que sería lo que has hecho. Ese numero es el dato que usa el programa para hacer la conversión. Lo que si puedes modificar es lo de abajo, en el método getFeedFromInches es donde debes escribir como pasar de inches a Feed. La linea 14 está mal, ese dato te lo proporciona ya el programa en la linea 10 que modificaste poniendo el numero 20. Debes eliminar lo que has escrito en la linea 14, volver a poner el 243 en la linea 10 dentro de los parentesis. En return pones a y ya estaría resuelto. La linea 16 no es necesaria al ser un int te devuelve un entero.

public static int getFeetFromInches(int inches) {
    //write your code here
    int feet = inches/12;
    return feet;
}

Line 14 makes your method to always return the same value, regardless of user input. Also, you don't need Math.round() here, because when you divide int by int you will always get int, not a floating point number. If you want a really clean solution to this task, you can implement the required method with just one single line of code.
