How far is 450 meter in feet?

How far is 450 meter in feet?
One meter is defined as exactly 39.37 inches. Each foot has 12 inches. If we do the math, we have 450 meter * (39.37 inches/1 meter) * (1 foot/12 inches) . When we multiply the numerators with each other and do the same thing with the denominators and cancel the units that appear as both numerator and denominator, we end up with 17716.5 foot/12. Simplifying yields our answer of 1476.375 foot, (which, grammatically, should be "feet").
