um i don't get where exactly how you get that answer but last time i checked a meter was just over 39 inches and that is 3 feet 3 inches in case you didn't know
39 inches ≠ 60 inches

and i was being sarcastic

Ok, so I was wrong. But not by much. You said 1 meter=3 feet 3 inches. 3 feet 3 inches(meter) does not = 1 feet
