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

58.70m2

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

Please multiply again because your answer isn't correct.

You only need one digit after the decimal point.

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.

sorry i meant 57.70m2

ok thanks so much

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

57.70 = 57.7 square meters
