Answer:
When you have to do an English-Metric (SI) length conversion, and you already know the English units of length (miles, yards, feet, inches, etc.), all you need to remember is one simple relationship, and you can readily convert any length in the SI system, to the equivalent length in the other.
1 foot (ft) = 0.3048 meters (m)
BIn this case you need your answer in inches. You (hopefully) know there are 12 inches in a foot, so you just do the following:
1 inch (in) = 1/12 ft = 0.3048/12 m = 0.0254 m
