To convert feet to meters, we use the conversion factor where 1 foot is approximately 0.3048 meters.
First, let's convert 50 feet to meters:
\[ 50 \text{ feet} \times 0.3048 \text{ meters/foot} = 15.24 \text{ meters} \]
Now, we can break this into meters and centimeters. Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, we can express 15.24 meters as:
- 15 meters
- \(0.24 \text{ meters} \times 100 \text{ centimeters/meter} = 24 \text{ centimeters}\)
So, 50 feet is equal to 15 meters and 24 centimeters.
Thus, the correct answer is:
15 m; 24 cm
