Final answer:

To convert 4 meters to feet, multiply 4 by the conversion factor 3.28 to get 13.12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to convert 4 meters into feet, using a given conversion factor where 1 meter is approximately equal to 3.28 feet (not 3.32 as mentioned in the typo).

To perform the conversion:

  1. Write down the quantity you want to convert (4 meters).
  2. Multiply this quantity by the conversion factor which relates meters to feet. Since 1 meter is equal to 3.28 feet, you use this as your conversion factor.
  3. Perform the multiplication: 4 meters x 3.28 feet/1 meter. The meters unit will cancel out, leaving you with the measurement in feet.
  4. 4 x 3.28 = 13.12. So, 4 meters is equal to 13.12 feet.
