You may use the conversions factors to process from feet to inches to centimeters to meters.
1 ft = 12 in
1 in = 2.54 cm
100 cm = 1 m
An example
How many meters are in 10 ft.
##10 ft## x ##(12in)/(1ft )## x ##(2.54 cm)/(1 in)##= ##304.8cm##
then
##304.8 cm## x ##(1 m)/(100 cm)## = ##3.048 m##
I hope this was helpful.
