How to Convert Kilometers to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 48.94 kilometers?
As;
1 kilometers = 3280.84 feet
48.94 kilometers = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 48.94 times 3280.84 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 48.94 * 3280.84 / 1 = 160564.3096 feet
Answer is: 160564.3096 feet are equivalent to 48.94 kilometers.
