Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to meters is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters:

1 ft = 0.3048 m

To convert 0.4 feet into meters we have to multiply 0.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 0.3048 m

0.4 ft → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 0.4 ft × 0.3048 m

L_(m) = 0.12192 m

The final result is:

0.4 ft → 0.12192 m

We conclude that 0.4 feet is equivalent to 0.12192 meters:

0.4 feet = 0.12192 meters

Alternative conversion
