When we talk about measurements, it’s important to know how to convert them from one unit to another. In this case, we’re converting meters to feet.
1 meter is about 3.28 feet. So if you want to know how many feet there are in 25 meters, you can use the following equation:
$$
25 \text{ meters} \times 3.28 \text{ feet/meter} = 82 \text{ feet}
$$
This means that 25 meters is the same as 82 feet.
Now, let’s think about some things that are exactly 82 feet long. Here are 7 objects that you might find in your garden or nearby:
- A long garden hose stretched all the way out.
- A fence that runs along the edge of a backyard.
- The length of a small swimming pool in a typical backyard.
- A row of vegetable plants planted about a foot apart.
- A tree branch that has fallen and is lying flat along the ground.
- The distance between two garden beds in a community garden.
- A pathway that leads from one section of your yard to another.
Just imagine how many flower pots, rows of plants, or garden decorations you could fit along that 82 feet!
