To convert the length of a canoe from meters to feet and inches, we will follow these steps:
1. Convert meters to feet:
Given 1 meter is approximately 3.3 feet, we first convert the length of the canoe from meters to feet.
[tex]\[
\text{Canoe length in feet} = 4 \, \text{meters} \times 3.3 \, \frac{\text{feet}}{\text{meter}} = 13.2 \, \text{feet}
\][/tex]
2. Separate the feet and the fractional part:
The result of 13.2 feet consists of whole feet and a fractional part. Here, we separate them:
[tex]\[
13 \, \text{feet (whole part)} \quad \text{and} \quad 0.2 \, \text{feet (fractional part)}
\][/tex]
3. Convert the fractional feet to inches:
Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we convert the fractional feet (0.2 feet) to inches:
[tex]\[
\text{Inches} = 0.2 \, \text{feet} \times 12 \, \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{foot}} = 2.4 \, \text{inches}
\][/tex]
4. Combine the results:
We now combine the whole feet and the converted inches. Therefore, the length of the canoe is:
[tex]\[
13 \, \text{feet and} \, 2.4 \, \text{inches}
\][/tex]
So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{13 \, \text{feet} \, 2.4 \, \text{inches}}
\][/tex]
