Converting from metric to standard

Convert the following from metric to the standard system. In German speaking countries, the Quadratmeter (square meter) is used to measure homes, rather than square feet. In fact, most of the world measures in square meters. The purpose of this assignment is for you to get a good idea of just how big the average German home is. You can get a good idea of the typical German dwelling, by looking at page 78. To convert from square meters to square feet-you divide by .0929. To convert in reverse, you multiply by .0929. Verstehst du? Gut. Das ist wunderbar. Jetzt an die Arbeit!


Convert to the opposite system
1. 66 Quadratmeter
2. 78 Quadratmeter
3. 3,200 square feet
4. 2,100 square feet
5. 1,300 square feet
6. 118 Quadratmeter
7. 90 Quadratmeter
8. 4,400 square feet
9. 85 Quadratmeter.
