First convert from inches to feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "242 inches = (242 inches)*(1 ft/12 inches) = (242/12) ft = (121/6) ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "134 inches = (134 inches)*(1 ft/12 inches) = (134/12) ft = (67/6) ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Summary of conversions
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 242 inches = (121/6) ft
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 134 inches = (67/6) ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = (Length) * (Width)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = (121/6 ft) * (67/6 ft)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = ((121/6)*(67/6))*(ft*ft)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = ((121*67)/(6*6))*(ft^2)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = (8107/36)*(ft^2)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = (225.194444)*(ft^2)
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = 225.194444 ft^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The notation \"ft^2\" means \"square feet\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of the floor is approximately 225.194444 square feet. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
