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 0.5 feet into meters we have to multiply 0.5 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
0.5 ft → L(m)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:
L(m) = 0.5 ft × 0.3048 m
L(m) = 0.1524 m
The final result is:
0.5 ft → 0.1524 m
We conclude that 0.5 feet is equivalent to 0.1524 meters:
0.5 feet = 0.1524 meters
