How to Convert Feet to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 47.58 feet?
As;
1 feet = 0.000305 kilometers
47.58 feet = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 47.58 times 0.000305 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 47.58 * 0.000305 / 1 = 0.0145119 kilometers
Answer is: 0.0145119 kilometers are equivalent to 47.58 feet.
