Hello, I am stucked again on next step. Can someone give me an advice please? Thank you

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

I thought its like this

let areaInFeet = height*width but its invalid

Thank you

The width and height is given in inches, you must convert to feet before calculating the area. let areaInFeet = height/12 * width/12

or let areaInFeet = height * width / 144
