Quandaries & Queries

Question from Natcha:

How can I convert the Carpet Roll Size to Square Meters.
I have one Roll of carpet, (Quality is 2300 g/m2; 7 pitch/in, 9 rows/in; width: 2m) with dimension 0.5 m width and 4 m length. I needed to know that quantity of that Roll in Square Meters.

Natcha

Natcha,

If the rug is 0.5 m wide and 4 m long its area is 0.5 × 4 = 2 square meters.
