Remember this magic number, 3.2808. Say for example 15 inch is 1.25feet. Divide it by 3.2808 gives u an accurate 0.381 number in metre. The use of the significant numbers is to prevent rounding off error.

A meter (metre) is 39.37 inches.
A foot is 12 inches.
You can divide one by the other to get the conversion from feet to metres, or vice-versa.
Or you can go to Google and enter the same question you asked here.
