Conversion problems between feet and meters come back quite often in math and physics.
You need to memorize one conversion, the rest can be calculated. It is: one inch = 2.54 cm
there are 12 inches in a foot or 12 * 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm
Of course you need to know that centi = 1/100.
So,1 foot = 30.48 cm / (1m/100cm) = 0.3048 meters

There is one basic fact you must memorise, and then you will be able to do all these conversions. This is that 1inch is 2.54 cm by definition.
So, 1 ft = 12 in = 12 x 2.54 cm
Therefore, 1M = 100 cm = 100/(12 x 2.54) = 3.28 ft
