Given the height and width of a wall in inches, calculate the area in feet and assign it to a constant named areaInFeet.

How do I do this?

You just need to divide height and width by 12 seperately before multiplying to find the area.

Here is how you do it.

let areaInFeet = (height / 12) * (width / 12)

The parentheses are used for proper order of operations.
