Step 1: Identify the conversion factors needed. To convert kilometers (km) to feet (ft), you need to know the conversion from kilometers to meters and from meters to feet.
Step 2: Use the conversion factor for kilometers to meters. 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.
Step 3: Use the conversion factor for meters to feet. 1 meter is approximately equal to 3.28084 feet.
Step 4: Multiply the number of kilometers by the conversion factor to convert to meters.
Step 5: Multiply the result from Step 4 by the conversion factor to convert from meters to feet.
