How Do You Convert Feet and Inches to Meters?

1 foot is equal to 0,3048 meters:

1 ft = 0,3048 m

1 inch is equal to 0,0254 meters:

1 in = 0,0254 m

The measure of distance in meters (m) can be calculated by taking the distance in feet (ft), multiplying it by 0.3048, and then adding the distance in inches (in) multiplied by 0.0254:

d_(m) = d_(ft) * 0,3048 + d_(in) * 0,0254

Example

Suppose you have a height of 5 feet and 8 inches, and you want to express it in meters. To do this, first, convert the 5 feet to inches by multiplying it by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot):

5 feet * 12 inches/foot = 60 inches

Now, add the 8 inches to get the total height in inches:

60 inches + 8 inches = 68 inches

To convert these inches to meters, use the conversion factor: 1 inch = 0.0254 meters. So, multiply the total inches by this factor:

68 inches * 0.0254 meters/inch ≈ 1.7272 meters

Therefore, a height of 5 feet 8 inches is approximately 1.7272 meters.
