Question

how to learn conversion of length units

Answer 1

Explanation:

Example: Convert 3 feet into metres

rulers 1ft vs 1m

When we put a 1-metre ruler next to a

1-foot ruler, they look like this

rulers 1ft 0.3048m

Look closely and we see that the 1-foot ruler comes to exactly 0.3048 on the metre ruler

So, the conversion for feet to metres is: 1 ft = 0.3048 metres

To convert feet to metres, multiply by 0.3048

In fact we could put three 1 foot rulers next to each other like this:

rulers 3ft 0.9144m

Now you can see that 3 feet = 3 × 0.3048 metres = 0.9144 metres

So: 3 ft = 3 × 0.3048 m = 0.9144 m
