Question

How many square feet are there in 288 square inches (1 foot=12 inches)

Answer 1

Given:

1 foot = 12 inches

So, 288 square inches are:

`288\text{ in}^2=288\text{ in}^2*(\frac{1\text{ ft}}{12\text{ in}})^2`

Solve:

`288\text{ in}^2*\frac{1^2\text{ ft}^2}{12^2\text{ in}^2}=288\text{ in}^2*\frac{1\text{ ft}^2}{144\text{ in}^2}`

Simplify:

`2\text{ ft}^2`

Answer: 2 square feet
