    If you teach a man to fish, you'll feed him for life.

    If you give a man a fish, like you just did there, he's going to be back on to you every day looking for free fish.

    Step(1) Convert inches to feet
    1 feet = 12 inches
    feet = inches/12
    0.42 feet = 5 inches /12
    2 feet = 24 inches /12

    Step(2) calculate square footage
    Length * width = Square footage
    2*0.42 = 0.84 square feet
