How to Convert Feet to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 49.64 feet?
As;
1 feet = 0.000305 kilometers
49.64 feet = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 49.64 times 0.000305 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 49.64 * 0.000305 / 1 = 0.0151402 kilometers
Answer is: 0.0151402 kilometers are equivalent to 49.64 feet.
