Assume that only the four 9 ft by 9 ft walls are to be papered. Each wall will require (9 ft)^2 sq ft of paper, or 81 sq ft of paper. Multiply that by 4 (since there are four walls): 324 sq ft. Now subtract 93 sq ft from 324 sq ft to obtain the answer to this problem.
No it is not greater than 0.88

Explanation:</h2>
The yard, whose symbol is yd, is standardized as 0.9144 meters since 1959. The unit system that use it is both the imperial and the US units. On the other hand, the foot, whose symbol is ft, is standardized as 0.3048 meter. It is also used by the imperial and US units. The relationship between these two units is:

Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have
7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)
Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m
Divide by 1.40: m = 4h
Then the total number of hours worked by either person is
m + h = (4h) +h = 5h
When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.
Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.
