Dimensional analysis HELP

[brwneyes66]

Please help, I do not understand this math. Here is the problem

"Convert the area of 960 square meters to square feet. Include the acres-hectare conversion factor. Use the conversion factors from the table in Lesson 1.5. Show all needed conversion factors. Some spaces don't require numbers - in which case enter 1. Some units will be blank - in which case select the second item in the list, which is a blank space. Round final answer to 2 decimal places if needed. The setup below should look like the typical dimensional analysis that you learned. If it doesn't, resize the window on your computer, if possible."

Start with 1 meter = 3.28084 ft,

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

There are three things here: First, the problem itself, which I hope you understand the meaning of:

Convert the area of 960 square meters to square feet.​

Second, instructions for the work you are to show, which implies you can find a factor to convert acres to or from hectares in the table:

Include the acres-hectare conversion factor. Use the conversion factors from the table in Lesson 1.5. Show all needed conversion factors.​

Third, instructions for entering your answer in the computer:

Some spaces don't require numbers - in which case enter 1. Some units will be blank - in which case select the second item in the list, which is a blank space. Round final answer to 2 decimal places if needed. The setup below should look like the typical dimensional analysis that you learned. If it doesn't, resize the window on your computer, if possible.​

But you haven't shown us what "the setup below ... looks like", so we can't be sure what format you have learned, and what you are to fill in.

More important, we don't know yet which part you don't understand. I'm guessing it's how to carry out the dimensional analysis, but it could also be finding the conversion factor.

If you can show the "setup", and maybe an example you were given, and then make an attempt at doing it and show us your work, then we will have a better idea what help you need. Also please either tell us what factor you found in the table, or show us the table so we can help you read it.
