Hi Donny,

You have the right solution. Just assign what you have in the constant "area" to "areaInFeet" instead. Get rid of the last line of code. You don't have have to divide by 12 a second time. 

// the height and width of a wall
let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches

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