Explanation:

Step1: Convert meters to feet

We use the conversion factor $1 \text{ meter} = 3.28084 \text{ feet}$.
$8.13 \times 3.28084 \approx 26.673 \text{ feet}$

Step2: Convert decimal feet to inches

Take the decimal part of the feet value, multiply by 12 (since $1 \text{ foot} = 12 \text{ inches}$).
$0.673 \times 12 \approx 8.076 \text{ inches}$, which is approximately $8 \frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Step3: Combine feet and inches

$26 \text{ feet} + 8 \frac{1}{4} \text{ inches}$

Answer:

26 Ft 8 1/4 inches
