Given the statement:

a room has an area of 121ft^2 but carpeting is only sold in m^2.

Determine how much carpeting is needed to carpet the room.

Solution:

In order to determine the measurement in m^2 to carpet the room, we simply needed to convert ft^2 to m^2 using the general conversion method.

1 m^2 = 10.76 ft^2

= (121 ft^2 )( 1 m^2/10.76 ft^2)

= 121 m^2/10.76

= 11.24 m^2

Final answer:

= 11.24 m^2
