Question 1026614
1200 sq in * (1ft/12 in)*(1ft/12 in)

Start with what you have and equals what you want. 

you start with in^2.  You have to get to ft^2.  Therefore you need feet in the numerator and in in the denominator, so the in^2 cancel and you are left with ft^2.

Not that the answer is required, but it is 8 1/3 sq ft.
there are 144 sq in in 1 sq ft.
