Stuck on this question: Given the height and width of a wall in inches, calculate the area in square feet and assign it

Ive tried lots of various things and none have worked

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

let areaInFeet = (Double)area / 12

let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches

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