You're close. Your instructions are to round it to the nearest tenth -- and you've rounded to the nearest whole number.

Sue I am so confused at my age I never seen this type of problem when I was in school and I am trying to learn
Answered by Ms. Sue
Please multiply again because your answer isn't correct.

You only need one digit after the decimal point.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'm glad you're trying to learn, and I'm sorry you've never seen this type of problem. I learned this in 8th or 9th grade over 60 years ago.

Anyway, hang in there -- and we'll try to help you.

Answered by Ms. Sue
Right -- although when you round to tenths, you only have one numeral after the decimal point.

57.70 = 57.7 square meters
