1. **State the problem:** Convert the height of a container from feet and inches to meters.
2. **Given:** Height = 6 feet 7 inches.
3. **Formula:** To convert feet and inches to meters, use the conversion factors:
- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters
- 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
4. **Convert feet to meters:**
$$6 \text{ feet} = 6 \times 0.3048 = 1.8288 \text{ meters}$$
5. **Convert inches to meters:**
$$7 \text{ inches} = 7 \times 0.0254 = 0.1778 \text{ meters}$$
6. **Add the two results to get total height in meters:**
$$1.8288 + 0.1778 = 2.0066 \text{ meters}$$
7. **Round to the nearest tenth:**
$$2.0066 \approx 2.0 \text{ meters}$$
**Final answer:** The height of the container is closest to **2.0 meters**.
**Answer choice:** B. 2.0
