To convert square inches to square feet, you need to divide the number of square inches by the number of square inches in a square foot. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 1 square foot is equal to 12 x 12 = 144 square inches.
So, the number of square feet in 288 square inches is:
288 square inches / 144 square inches per square foot = 2 square feet
Therefore, there are 2 square feet in 288 square inches (when 1 inch is equal to 12 square feet).
