A counter in Jacob's kitchen is 1 meter wide and 2 meters long. Jacob wants to replace the counter with a granite countertop, which would cost $224.00 per square meter. How much would the granite countertop cost?

The area of the current counter is 1 meter x 2 meters = 2 square meters.

So the cost of the new granite countertop would be 2 square meters x $224.00 per square meter = $<<2*224=448.00>>448.00. Answer: \boxed{448}.
