a kilometer equals 1000 meters (kilo means 1000), so 1.6 km = 1600 meters.
a meter equals 3.28 feet (or 39.37 inches); so
1600 m * 3.28 ft/m = 5248 ft.
You'll need to know some sort of conversion; I suggest knowing that a meter equals 39.37 inches. Then determine how many feet that is.
Then determine how many meters are included in your number. You should know that a kilo of anything is 1000 of whatever the second part of the word is.
Multiply the number of meters by the number of feet in a meter.
Good question! Metric conversions are confusing to Americans. The scientists programming a Mars vehicle got confused about this too, and the vehicle crashed! So get used to it, and get over it. You'll need to know this for your math and science classes, and when your space exploration vehicle is landing on the Moon. Good luck!

First go from kilometers to miles (1.62 kilometers = 1 mile)
Then go from miles to feet (5280 feet = 1 mile)

you need to remember son numbers
Inch 2.54 centimeters Centimeter 0.39 inches
Foot 30.48 centimeters Meter 3.28 feet
Yard 0.91 meters Meter 1.09 yards
Mile 1.61 kilometers Kilometer 0.62 miles
If 1 meters has 3.28 feet. How many feet are in a 1,610 meters?
3.28 feet/meters x 1610 meters

1 kilometer has 100 000 centimeters and 1 feet equals 30.98 cm, so if you have 1.6 km means you have 1 600 000 cm, this quantitie is divided by 30.98 cm, this equals 51646.22 feet.

Ok, as of i remember. 1.6kilometers is equals to 1,600 meter or equals to 160,000 centimeter. so to convert to feet by 160,000 centimeter divided by 2.54centimeter per inch. Why? because 2.54 centimeter is equals to 1 inch. that would be 62992.126 inches. then to convert to feet, divide it by 12. because 1 foot is equals to 12 inches. the answer is 5,249.34383 feet. you can try also using the scientific calculator. there is a conversion there from metric system to english system or vice versa.

a kilometer is 0.6 miles so 1.6 km is 0.96 mile (1.6x0.6). There are 5,280 feet in a mile so 5280x0.96=(you do the math)

1 km=1000 m. and 1 m.=3.28 ft so 1 km.=3280 ft (approximately) and so if you need to convert 1.6 km to feet u have to multiply 1.6 * 3280 which equals 5248.
