George`s new solution for Measuing

George came up with a solution for measuring. You know how measuring with feet, books,
sticks is not an accurate way of measuring. Now that problem is solved! With this new
strategy you can measure anything!

Intructions:
1: Measure your foot using a ruler.
2: Measure the object with your foot.
3: Multiply the number of feet by length of your foot.
4: Remember to write cm in your answer.

Example:
My foot is 20cm long. Gf=20cm
Room 6 is 36 George feet wide.

How wide is Room 6?

Gf=20cm
so 36Gf = 36 x 20

30 + 30 = 60
6+6 = 12
60+10+2 = 72

so the answer is 720cm

so 36f=720cm

So Room 6 is 720cm wide or 7.20m wide.
