60 square meters to square inches
Think of "square meters" as "meters squared" or m²
Think of "square inches" as "inches squared" or in²

60m%5E2%2F1×%28100cm%29%2F%281m%29×%28100cm%29%2F%281m%29×%281in%29%2F%282.54cm%29×%281in%29%2F%282.54cm%29

cancel the m² on the top with the two m's on the bottom:

Cancel the two cm's on the top with the two cm's on the bottom:
