Converting 16 Feet 10 Inches to Meters
If you're looking to convert a measurement from the imperial system to the metric system, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll show you how to convert 16 feet 10 inches to meters.
** Understanding the Conversion Factor **
Before we dive into the conversion, let's take a look at the conversion factor between feet and meters. One foot is equivalent to approximately 0.3048 meters. This means that to convert feet to meters, we can multiply the number of feet by 0.3048.
Converting Feet to Meters
Now, let's convert 16 feet to meters. To do this, we'll multiply 16 by 0.3048, which gives us:
16 feet x 0.3048 meters/foot = 4.8768 meters
Converting Inches to Meters
Next, let's convert the 10 inches to meters. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can convert inches to feet by dividing by 12:
10 inches ÷ 12 = 0.8333 feet
Now, we can convert the 0.8333 feet to meters using the conversion factor:
0.8333 feet x 0.3048 meters/foot = 0.254 meters
Adding it All Together
Finally, we can add the converted measurements together to get the total distance in meters:
4.8768 meters + 0.254 meters = 5.1308 meters
Therefore, 16 feet 10 inches is equivalent to approximately 5.1308 meters.
