Question

Prove that the 1 meter = 3.28ft

Select an object (like a table), measure it using U.S. Units. Use a metric unit and remeasure the same object. Compare between what they calculated the length of the object to be (when converting from their US measurement and what they measure it to be using the metric ruler. Use the following equation to calculate how far off the two measurements are:

Conclusion: Were the results expected, were they off a lot? Explain what your take away from the experiment is.
