Remember that 1 feet is equal to 12 inches, and 1 inch is by definition equal to 2.54cm. Write 7.33km in cm. Then convert that quantity in centimeters to inches, and finally, convert that quantity in inches to feet:


7.33\operatorname{km}=7330m=733,000\operatorname{cm}

Use the conversion factor 1in=2.54cm:


733,000\operatorname{cm}*\frac{1in}{2.54\operatorname{cm}}=(733,000)/(2.54)in=288,582.7in

Use the conversion factor 1ft=12in:


288,582.7in*(1ft)/(12in)=(288,582.7)/(12)ft=24,048.6ft

Therefore, the approximate value of 7.33km in feet, is:


24,000
