Square Metre rate

1.
\(\displaystyle 1\ m \cdot 1\ m = 1\ m^2\)
2. You want to know the price per square-meter:
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle{\frac{\$ 28}{0.64\ m^2} = 43.75\ \frac{\$}{m^2}}\)
Thank you very much for the help
So to carry on with what I am trying to work out, If the room was 0.8 wide & 0.8 long, I would 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64 m2 and then 28 / 0.64 = 43.75 to get the 1 m2 price
To test i have got this right, a room 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64 m2 the carpet layer charges me £17.50 then to get the 1 m2 price it would be 17.50 / 0.64 = 27.34

We know this is not what you're trying to say, but other readers might get confused.
The room-width is 0.8m
The surface area of the room-floor is 0.64m^2
(Maybe the room is in a doll house?)
Please be careful when discussing math with others; it's best not to use abbreviated language because good math-communication requires attention to details.
Cheers :cool:

Some issues may be avoided if you always submit additional information as a new post in the thread versus editing new information into previous posts.
This also helps readers of your thread follow the natural "flow" of the discussion.
Yes, you are correct.
When the cost to lay 0.64 square meters of carpet is £17.50, then the unit cost is £17.50/0.64 because the units are £/m^2 (pounds per square meter). :cool:
