a room has an area of 121 ft squared but carpeting is only sold in meters squared

To convert the area of the room from square feet to square meters, we need to know the conversion factor between the two units.

1 square meter is equal to approximately 10.764 square feet.

Therefore, to convert the area of the room from square feet to square meters, divide the area in square feet by 10.764:

121 ft^2 / 10.764 = 11.23 m^2

So, the area of the room is approximately 11.23 square meters.
