Detailed Solution

Concept- First, we'll convert 1 foot to centimeters, then to meters.
One meter equals one hundred centimeters.
1 foot is equal to 30.48 cm.
As stated in the above-mentioned tip, 1 foot is equivalent to 30.48 cm.
We can now translate 30.48 cm to meters as follows:
We shall move the decimal point two places to the left when converting 30.48 centimeters into meters since we know that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
To do this, divide 30.48 by 100.
Now, we need to look at the amount of zeros in the divisor to determine how many places we need to move the decimal. Since there are only two zeros in a hundred, we will move the decimal point to the left two positions. We must move the zero three positions to the left if the divisor is thousand, or 1000.
Therefore, after moving the decimal point two places left, we have 0.3048 meters.
Hence, the correct response is option (2) 30.48 meters.
