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 5000 feet into meters we have to multiply 5000 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

5000 ft → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 5000 ft × 0.3048 m

L_(m) = 1524 m

The final result is:

5000 ft → 1524 m

We conclude that 5000 feet is equivalent to 1524 meters:

5000 feet = 1524 meters
