anyone any good at maths?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I didnt know where else to post it.
I bought a piece of chamois leather from e bay. It was advertised as being 4.25 square feet. The piece I received is 24" x 32". Is that right ? I did expect a much bigger piece. Maths was never my strong point.
Thanks

If it was 24" along each side it would be 4 square feet in area. So what you bought sounds about right.

you're better off Sam .............. you've got 5.33 sq ft

Im reliably told 24 x 32 is bigger

[pericat]

5.3 is right

[pericat]

32 x 24 divided by 144 (no sq inches in sq foot)

What size of a window would you plan to be cleaning with a chamois that big?

Sam, Know how you feel.
My three worst subjects at school were maths and arithmetic.
