Daily Puzzle - April 16

My brother, Julian, is a little simple. I recently asked him to
buy me some ribbon for my daughter's pretty pink bonnet. He went
to the haberdashery shop for the required length but accidentally
interchanged the feet and inches. When I measured the resulting
ribbon I only had 5/8 of the length I required. How much ribbon
did I originally ask for?
