The Shooting Distance in a 5 meter match is 16 feet, 4 inches.

• A. False
• B. 20 feet
• C. 10 feet
• D. 16 feet 4 inches

Answer: (B)

Converting metric distance to feet and inches helps you compare measurements the way they’re commonly given in practice settings. For a 5 meter distance, you multiply by 3.28084 to get feet: 5 × 3.28084 = 16.4042 feet. The decimal part, 0.4042 feet, converts to inches by multiplying by 12, which gives about 4.85 inches. So the true distance is roughly 16 feet 4.85 inches, i.e., about 16 feet 5 inches when rounded to the nearest inch. The statement claiming 16 feet 4 inches is not exactly correct; it’s off by almost an inch. Among the given options, that makes the assertion false. The options 20 feet and 10 feet are clearly not close to the actual conversion, while 16 feet 4 inches is the closest rounded value but not exact. Therefore, the best choice is the one that indicates the statement is false.
