Pleas-d'quan's grandmother made a quilt for his bed the quilt is 2.44 meters long and 1.83 meters wide what is the area of the quilt in square feet

Lets calculate the area first and then we change units, so the area of the quilt is the length times its width, so we have:
area = 2.44*1.83
area = 4.47 square meters
now we need to convert square meters to square feet, we know that 
1 square meter equals 10.76 square feet
therefore we need to multiply the area times 10.76 to convert it to square feet:
area = (4.47 square meters)(10.76 square feet per square meter)
area = 4.47*10.76
area = 48.10 square feet
