Bill you are CORRECT.
Hey, I thought you were retired!
I got my labels backwards, the numbers are still correct and it's my memory
that's wrong, which is why you are correct, Bill.
Guess I have been doing meters too long.
I guess Dave was also correct.

Your memory is wrong Rick...but I know
how you got there because I recognized the
"3048" sequence. That is actually .3048 m/ft,
not 3.048 ft/m. As someone else stated the
actual value of ft/m is 3.281 ft, which comes
from 1/.3048. So a meter is about 10% longer
(~3.3') than a yard (3.0 ft).
