Answer
$\approx 16.40$ ft (to nearest 2 decimal places)
Work Step by Step
First convert m to cm, by multiplying by 100:
1 m = 100 cm
5m = 500 cm
Next, convert cm to ft by dividing by 30.48:
30.48 cm = 1 ft
1 cm = $\frac{1}{30.48}$ ft
500 cm = $\frac{500}{30.48}$ ft
=16.4041994751 ft
$\approx 16.40$ ft (to nearest 2 decimal places)
