Glad I was not the only one who caught that.

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.
