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

I don't understand this question

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

Nearly ;-)

height and with are given in inches. You need to convert them to feet and then calculate the area.

1 foot = 12 inches

let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches
let areaInFeet = (height/12)*(width/12)
