Question

help pleas-D'quan's grandmother made a quilt for his bed the quilt is 2.44 meters long and 1.83 meters wide what is the area of the quilt in square feet

Answer 1

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 = (4.47 square meters)(10.76 square feet per square meter)
area = 4.47*10.76
area = 48.10 square feet
