Question

How many feet are there in $ 5.2 $ meters?

Answer 1

Hint: Generally, we use the units feet and meters in measuring the length. The meter is the standard form of length. The symbol for the meter is $ m $ . The symbol for feet is $ ft $ . Feet is greater than the meter. Always one meter is equal to $ 3.28084 $ feet. The calculation can be done by multiplying the meter value by $ 3.28084 $

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given,
There are $ 5.2 $ meters we need to convert into feet.
First, we can change them into symbols.
As the symbol for meter is $ m $ , we get $ 5.2m $ .
As the symbol for feet is $ ft $ , we get $ xft $ .
Always one meter is equal to $ 3.28084 $ feet.
 $ 1m = 3.2808ft $
To calculate the value in feet from meter,
The given value is $ 5.2m $
we should multiply both sides with $ 5.2 $
 $ 5.2 \times 1m = 5.2 \times 3.2808ft $
By calculating the above value we get,
 $ 5.2m = 17.06ft $ .
Feet and meters both are measurements of length. The meter is the standard form of length. The symbol for the meter is $ m $ . The symbol for feet is $ ft $ . Feet is more than a meter. Always one meter is equal to $ 3.28084 $ feet. The calculation can be done by dividing the meter value by $ 3.28084 $ The main important method is division.
Hence, converting the value of $ 5.2m $ is $ 17.06ft $ .

Note: While converting into the same units, we may get confused whether we need to multiply or divide the required number. While converting larger units into small units, we need to multiply and while converting smaller units into larger units, we need to divide. Here we have multiplied to obtain the desired answer.
