How do I convert 1.5 meters to feet?

To convert meters to feet, multiply the length in meters by three point two eight zero eight four to get the equivalent length in feet.

Think of a meter like a long step and a foot like a shorter step; since each meter has about three point two eight of those shorter steps, you just multiply how many long steps you have by three point two eight zero eight four to know how many short steps that is. If you have two meters, you multiply two by three point two eight zero eight four and get about six point five six one six feet. For fractions or decimals, do the same thing, and for very large or very small numbers use a calculator to keep the digits accurate. Remember that the multiplication gives an approximate value because the conversion factor is not an exact fraction.

Students often forget to use the full conversion factor and round too early, which makes answers less accurate; keep the extra digits until the final answer and then round. Another common mistake is mixing units, like multiplying centimeters by the meter-to-foot factor, which gives a wrong result; always convert to meters first if needed. A quick tip is to write the units down and cancel them mentally so you see meters times feet per meter equals feet.
