If one square foot equals 920.0 square centimeters, convert 32.54 square feet into square meters

OpenStudy (loser66):

you have to do 2 steps: 1) find how many square centimeters are there in 32.54 square feet 2) convert from square centimeters to square meters.

OpenStudy (igster1112):

How do I do that? Multiply the 2 numbers together?

OpenStudy (igster1112):

So confused at the moment

OpenStudy (imstuck):

I'll try to help. Hold on while I get my act together with the computations ok?

OpenStudy (igster1112):

Ok

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes, please. @IMStuck

OpenStudy (igster1112):

I got 2.994

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Ok, this is all about equivalencies, ok? You set them up in ratio format and do a factor-label method to eliminate the labels and end up with only what you want. You set it up like this, using the fact they gave you that 1 sq ft is 920.00 sq cm.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

yes

OpenStudy (igster1112):

Oh ok thank you

OpenStudy (imstuck):

You are right
