One meter is approximately how many feet?

One meter is approximately how many feet?

• A. 3.28 ft
• B. 2.54 ft
• C. 3.0 ft
• D. 4.0 ft

Answer: (A)

Converting between metric and customary length units uses a fixed length relationship. One meter is defined as 0.3048 meters per foot, so the number of feet in a meter is 1 divided by 0.3048, which is about 3.28084 feet. That means one meter is approximately 3.28 feet. Among the options, 3.28 ft matches this common approximation. The other values correspond to other lengths: about 2.54 ft would be roughly 0.78 meters, about 3.0 ft is about 0.914 meters, and 4.0 ft is about 1.219 meters, not 1 meter.
