Decimal feet are not feet and inches

The answer here is decimal feet. 10 m is about 32.81 ft, and the 0.81 is eight tenths of a foot — not eight inches. To get inches, multiply the part after the decimal point by 12: 0.81 ft is about 9.7 in, so 10 m is roughly 32 ft 10 in.

This direction is never exact. The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m, so feet to meters is exact, and meters to feet is its reciprocal — a decimal that goes on forever. Every answer here is rounded.

The factor is close to 3.28, and "multiply by 3.3" is a serviceable mental shortcut. It runs about half a percent high, which on a 100 m distance is a 1.7 ft overstatement.

Building trades in the US often work in feet and decimal inches rather than fractions. Check which convention a drawing uses before converting a whole set of dimensions.
