Lets calculate the area first and then we change units, so the area of the quilt is the length times its width, so we have: area = 2.44*1.83 area = 4.47 square meters now we need to convert square meters to square feet, we know that 1 square meter equals 10.76 square feet therefore we need to multiply the area times 10.76 to convert it to square feet: area = (<span>4.47 square meters)(10.76 square feet per square meter) area = </span><span>4.47*10.76 area = 48.10 square feet</span>
