Hi,
I don't understand how to convert from feet to metres?
For example: 6'8" into metres? how do I calculate that?
1 foot = 0.3048 meter
6'8" = 6.6667 feet
6.6667 * 0.3048 = 2.032 meters
how did you get 6.6 feat?

8/12 = 2/3 foot = 0.6667 foot
To convert feet to meters, you need to know the conversion factor. The conversion factor for feet to meters is 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. Here's how you can calculate the conversion:
1. Start by converting the feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, multiply the number of feet by 12. In this example, 6 feet = 6 x 12 = 72 inches.
2. Now, add the remaining inches to the total inches. In this case, you have 72 inches + 8 inches = 80 inches.
3. Next, convert the total inches to meters. To do this, multiply the total inches by the conversion factor of inches to meters. One inch is equal to 0.0254 meters. So, multiply 80 inches by 0.0254 meters/inch. This gives you 2.032 meters.
Therefore, 6'8" is equal to approximately 2.032 meters.
