My question is: There are 12 inches to a foot. Blossom measures her room and finds that it is exactly 10 feet long in each direction. In square inches, what is the area of her room? Your thoughts:
First translate the feet to inches or 10 feet * 12 inches per foot = 120 inches. Then use length * width which is 120 * 120 = 14400 square inches. The final answer: 14400.
