US real-estate listings, construction plans and hiking guides give heights and dimensions in feet that the rest of the world reads in meters. Aviation altitudes (given in feet worldwide) and swimming-pool depths are the other frequent flyers here.
Worked example
A house listing boasts 10-foot ceilings: 10 × 0.3048 = 3.05 m — genuinely tall against the common 2.4 m standard. A 10,000-foot skydive altitude is 3,048 m.
Rounding and precision
The factor 0.3048 is exact, so round based on use: centimeters for building work, whole meters for elevations. Mental shortcut: take a third and knock 2% off — 100 ft → ~33 → 30.5 m (a third overshoots; 0.3048 is closer to 30%).
