See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The conversion factor for feet to meters is:

#1" ft" = 0.3048" meters"#

Therefore we can write:

#(1" ft")/"sec" = (0.3048" meters")/sec#

We can now multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(32)#:

#color(red)(32) xx (1" ft")/"sec" = color(red)(32) xx (0.3048" meters")/sec#

#(32" ft")/"sec" = (9.7536" meters")/sec#
