So, I had this little project where I needed to figure out how tall something was in feet, and the measurement I had was 1.87 meters. I’m not super great with on-the-fly conversions, so I decided to just do a quick and dirty calculation and record the whole thing.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my phone. Gotta have a calculator, right? You could probably do this in your head if you’re a math whiz, but I’m definitely not.
The Conversion
- I remembered that one meter is roughly 3.28 feet. That’s the key number here.
- Then, I simply multiplied 1.87 (the meters) by 3.28 (the feet per meter). Easy peasy.
The Result
The calculator showed me 6.1336. So, 1.87 meters is about 6.13 * you have it! I successfully converted the measurement! I think,I will use it to convert something else later.
