Typo? 4/9ft^2.
No its not a typo 4/9ft squared that's what my book says
that's what the "^2" is
that's what the "^2" is
This actually the reason it confused me... Do you know?
Sorry -- but I don't understand. Logically it would be (4',9")^2.
Also -- the pavers are probably concrete, not cement, blocks.

I think you are correct with (4',9")^2 but I don't know.
Multiple 3 1/3 times 35
divide that answer by 4/9
I get 262.5 or 263
