How do you convert between metres, feet, inches and miles?
Each value is converted to metres using its factor, then divided by the target unit factor — for example, 1 inch = 0.0254 m and 1 foot = 0.3048 m. Metric units scale by powers of ten, while imperial units use fixed ratios (12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 1,760 yards to a mile). So 1 metre = 3.2808 feet = 39.37 inches = 100 centimetres.
