Question 151287: I could really use help with these problems. This is homework out of a college math book called Thinking Mathematically, Chapter 9 problems 6,18,26,46,56. The problem reads:
Convert the given square unit to the square unit indicated. Where necessary, round answers to two decimals places.
20 square m2 to ft square 2
I know that 1 square foot (ft square 2) = 0.09 square meter (m square 2) but this is as far as I got. Please me figure this problem out. I would appreciate any help.

2.54 cm = 1 in __ times 12 __ 30.48 cm = 1 ft __ .3048 m = 1 ft __ squaring __ .0929 m^2 = 1 ft^2 (approx)

to convert between the two; multiply ft^2 by .0929 to get m^2, or divide m^2 by .0929 to get ft^2

20 m^2/.0929 = 215.29 ft^2 (approx)
