HOW TO COMPUTE SQUARE METERS


Hola,

mathematically impaired nomad needs help. never learned the metric system as standard was the norm in my age category.

most of the real estate ads show property sizes in square meters.

how do you convert to square feet ?

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Just multiply sq meters by 11 to get sq ft.

It's close and easy to do without and internet connection.

You will be high by about 2%.

This.

An easy converter of prices per kilo , btw: price per pound=price per kilo/2 minus 10%. Don't even need a calculator.

Just type it into Google, it does just about any conversion for you. Use this format: XXXX sq meters = sq feet. Works perfectly. Or as RnR says, multiply by 11.

Desert Rat - living in cultural and language isolation, internet is your friend. This is a cheap and reliable remedy from sinking deeper in cognitive, memory and other problems of this kind coming with old age, and to keep senor Alzheimer away for longer.

If you just google up "sqft to sqm", the very first hit would be some converter.
