Step-by-step explanation:
The negative of a number may sometimes be greater than the number itself.
The negative of a negative number is positive which will give a greater number than the number itself. But the negative of a positive number is negative which is smaller than the number itself
Let us take a few examples
-(-1) = 1, 1>-1
-(1) = -1, 1>-1
We know 1 meter = 3.28084 feet
So 1 square meter = 3.28084 × 3.28084 square feet.
Now to convert from square feet to square meters, we need to divide by 3.28084 × 3.28084.
The area given in the news paper advertisement is 1330 square feet.
So to convert to square meters we divide by 3.28084 × 3.28084
We get
1330 square feet = 
Hence 1330 square feet of area is equal to 123.56 square meters.
