Given the statement:
A room has an area of 121 ft^2 but carpeting is only sold in m^2.
Determine how much carpeting the room needs.
Solution:
In order to determine the answer, we simply needed to convert ft^2 to m^2. This can be done by using the general conversion method.
1 m^2 = 10.76 ft^2
= (121 ft^2)( 1 m^2/10.76 ft^2)
The unit ft^2 cancels.
= 121 m^2/10.76
= 11.24 m^2
Final answer:
= 11.24 m^2
