How many square meters are there in a room that measures 9 feet 3 inch by 7 feet 2 inches?

Answer 1

You've got mixed units, so you're going to have to do some conversions. First, convert feet and inches to just feet. 9' 3" = 9.25 feet, because there are 12 inches to the foot, so 3 inches equals 3/12 = 0.25 foot. 7' 2" = 7.17 feet, because 2 inches equals 2/12 = 0.166667 foot, which rounds to 0.17 foot. The area, therefore, is 9.25 x 7.17 = 66.3 square feet. But there are nine square feet to the square yard, so divide that answer by nine to convert to square yards: 66.3 / 9 = 7.4 square yards.
