Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.09: 12 × 0.09 ≈ 1.08 m2, against the exact 1.114836 m2 (3.1% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A square foot is smaller than a square meter, so the number of square meters must come out smaller than the number of square feet. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
