Answer:

0.3048 or 1/3.281

Explanation:

To create a conversion factor the first thing is to find the equivalence between these two units meters and feet.

We have that 1 ft is equivalent to 0.3048 meters, therefore and as long as you want to go from meters to feet, the following operation must be performed:

x feet * 0.3048 meters / 1 foot = x * 0.3048 meters.

It could also be x / 3.281 meters

That is, let x be any value of length in feet, it must already be multiplied by 0.3048 or divided by 3.281.
