A monument has a height of 164 ft , 8 in what's the height in meters

Question

I don't understand

Answer 1

8 in is 2/3 of a foot, so the height is 164.6667, approximately.

 

You need to know a conversion factor, giving the number of m that is equivalent to 1 ft.

 

I believe that 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 12 in = 12(2.54) m/100.

This gives us 1 ft = 0.3048 m.

multiplying this fact by 164.6667, we have height of monument = 50.19 m

 

Your task is to learn; study this repeatedly until you get it. Then you will have made real progress.

Answer 2

1 foot = 0.3048 meters

 

8 inches * i foot / 12 inches = 8/12 feet = 2/3 feet = 0.6 feet = 0.66666.... feet <--- the bar means the digits repeat 

 

164 feet 8 in = 164.6 ft

 

164.6 ft * 0.3048 meters/ 1 foot = 50.1904 meters
