technically 1 meter = 39 inches, however, we could say 3 feet.
50 meters * 3 feet / 1 meter = 150 feet.
50 meters * 39 in / 1 meter * 1 ft / 12 in. = 162.5 feet

Just depends on your conversion factor.

Wow! That is some garden hose. One meter is roughly 3.28 feet, so 50 meters is just a touch over 164 feet. I've never seen a garden hose longer than 100 feet.
