Answer:

3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

At some point it is best to write out an equation to cancel out the units you don't want and to get to the units that you do want. So if you write this out in an equation, you can see how you get to the answer.

43 m 3.28 ft ? ft

-------- X ----------- = --------------

1 1 m 1

You can see now that the meters on the top will cancel out the meters on the bottom so all you are left with is the feet unit. When you write out the equation you put the unit on the bottom that you want to get rid of (meter). You put the unit you want to get to on the top which is feet. At this point you just have to know how many feet 1 meter is equal to and plug those number in. 1 meter is equal to 3.28 feet.
