Final answer:

The floor space of the apartment advertised with 1330 square feet is approximately 123.6 square meters when using the conversion factor of 1 square foot equaling 0.092903 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert an area from square feet to square meters, we can use the conversion factor where 1 square foot is approximately 0.092903 square meters. The apartment the student is considering is advertised as having 1330 square feet of floor space. Using the conversion factor:

  • Area in square meters = Area in square feet × 0.092903
  • Area in square meters = 1330 ft² × 0.092903 m²/ft²
  • Area in square meters = 123.6419 m²

Since we're given the area of the floor to a tenth of a square meter, we can round the final result to one decimal place:

  • Area in square meters ≈ 123.6 m²

Therefore, the floor area of the advertisement for the apartment in square meters is approximately 123.6 m².

We know 1 meter = 3.28084 feet

So 1 square meter = 3.28084 × 3.28084 square feet.

Now to convert from square feet to square meters, we need to divide by 3.28084 × 3.28084.

The area given in the news paper advertisement is 1330 square feet.

So to convert to square meters we divide by 3.28084 × 3.28084

We get

1330 square feet =
(1330)/((3.28084)^(2) )  =123.56

Hence 1330 square feet of area is equal to 123.56 square meters.
