To convert 60 feet to meters, we use the conversion factor given in the table:
1 foot = 0.3048 meters.
Now, we can calculate the equivalent number of meters:
\[ 60 \text{ feet} \times 0.3048 \text{ meters/foot} = 18.288 \text{ meters} \]
Rounding 18.288 meters to the nearest hundredth gives us:
\[ 18.29 \text{ meters} \]
Thus, the equivalent number of meters is 18.29 meters.
