1 hPa = exactly 30’ in the ISA.
That's ok for the purposes of this question but I have seen some people studying for ATPL exams who didn't realise that this value (ft per hPa) increases with altitude. For example, it's about 70'/hPa at 30,000ft.

Not relevant to your post but thought I'd just throw that in.
