Learn how to convert length units using a conversion factor

For example, to convert between ft and m,
conversion factor is 1 ft = approx 0.305 m

To convert feet to meters, multiply by 0.305:
ft x 0.305 = m
3 ft x 0.305 = 0.914 m

To convert meters to feet, divide by 0.305:
m / 0.305 = ft
3 m / 0.305 = 9.84 ft
