Answer:
375
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find a number n which fulfills
21.6 m2 = n * 576 cm2.
Be careful! The units are different on the left and right side of the equation.
If we change to m2 on the right side, than that means we have to divide by 10.000 becaus 1 m2 is equivalent to 10000 cm2.
(1 m2 = 1 m * 1 m = 100 cm * 100 cm = 10000 cm2)
That gives us
21.6 m2 = n * 0.0576 m2
Now divide both sides of the equation by 0.0576 m2 and we get
= n
375 = n
