AreainFeet

I'm not quite sure how convert in inches to feet from within the code. 12 inches are in 1 ft but I'm stuck

area.swift 
// the height and width of a wall
let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches
let area = height * width 

// 12 inches = 1 sq. foot 
let areaInFeet =

You have to covert the height and width values to feet before calculating the area.

Hint: 12 inches / 12 = 1 foot
