If 30.48 cm = 1 Ft, 30.48 cm/1 Ft = 1 Ft/30.48 cm = 1
When making conversions you can multiply anything by 1 without changing its value. Therefore you multiply a given quantity (and its units) by a ration that equals 1 and cancels out the units you wish to leave behind. As an example:
1 yard = 3 feet (given)
How many feet are there in 76 yards?
76 yards x 3 feet/1 yard = 228 feet
How many yards are in 323 feet?
323 feet x 1 yard/3 feet = 107.666....yards
