    Converting inches to meters to find area
    (a)
    A standard sheet of paper measures 8.5 by 13 inches. Find the area of one such sheet of paper in m.

    (b)
    A second sheet of paper is half as long and half as wide as the one described in part (a). By what factor is its area less than the area found in part (a)?
