[USMA:15388] Metric Today Error

[kilopascal]

2001-09-25   The 2001 Sep-Oct issue of Metric Today has an error on page 8, the back page.   The Answers to Metric Training & Education Test states:   7/10 of 1 hectare = 700 square metres.   The correct answer should be that 7/10 of 1 hectare is 7 000 square metres.  Since a hectare is 100 m x 100 m and that is the same as 10 000 m�, then 0.7 of 10 000 is 7 000, not 700.   I hope this is someone else's error and not that of the USMA.   John
