Conversion Formula
The formula to convert centimeters to feet is dividing the centimeter value by 30.48 because 1 foot equals 30.48 centimeters. This works because it directly relates the two units based on their known measurement equivalence. For example, converting 15 cm:
- 15 ÷ 30.48 = 0.4921 feet.
- This shows that 15 centimeters is roughly half a foot.
The division ensures the length in centimeters is scaled down to the length in feet accurately, based on the fixed ratio between the units.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 cm to feet:
- Step 1: Write the formula: 10 ÷ 30.48.
- Step 2: Calculate: 10 ÷ 30.48 ≈ 0.3281 feet.
- This tells us 10 centimeters roughly equals one-third of a foot.
- Convert 20 cm to feet:
- Step 1: 20 ÷ 30.48.
- Step 2: 20 ÷ 30.48 ≈ 0.6562 feet.
- So, 20 centimeters is about two-thirds of a foot.
- Convert 25 cm to feet:
- Step 1: 25 ÷ 30.48.
- Step 2: 25 ÷ 30.48 ≈ 0.8202 feet.
- This means 25 centimeters is slightly more than two-fifths of a foot.
