Answer:

74.36 m^2 is the total flooring area in m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - 8 by 10 ft kitches comes to 800 ft^2.  We need to convert this to m^2.  Recall that 1 m = 3.28 ft.  From this we know that (1 m)^2 = (3.28 ft)^2 = 10.76 ft^2.

Multiply 800 ft^2 by the conversion factor  (1 m)^2 / 10.76 ft^2.  We get:

74.36 m^2.
