Homework help

[cubs29]

I have a homework assignment that I am finding very difficult to do using jgrasp. Here is the question:

Create a class names Assignment1b. This class will prompt the user to enter the length and width of a rectangular parcel of land. This program will then compute the square feet and the corresponding acreage based on the fact that one acre equals 43,560 square feet. After the program has computed the acreage, it will report that results to the user as shown below.

Compile and run your program three times, once with each of the following value:
length 120, width: 363
length 0, width: 0
length 250, width 250

Here is what your output should look like:

---jgrasp exec: java Assignment1b

Enter the length: 120
Enter the width: 363

A rectangular parcel of land having
length 120 feet and width 363 feet
has an area of 43560 square feet
which is 1.0 acres

---jgrasp: operation complete.

Thank you for your help!

Please don't simply dump homework here without showing your work and asking a specific question. Many here take this to mean that you want someone to do this assignment for you, and that's not how things work here. I'm sure that's not what you meant, so to make this a proper answerable question, please put some effort into your question including by telling us where exactly you are stuck, and what exactly do you not understand about the assignment.

That's now what at all what I was doing.

I feel like I'm kind of getting but I still don't know what to plug in...

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Assignment1b
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.print("Enter the length then width of land you wish to compute in feet");

int L1, W2;

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
L1 = keyboard.nextInt();
W2 = keyboard.nextInt();

System.out.println("The area of land in square feet is");
System.out.println(L1 * L2);

System.out.println("In square acres that is equal to");
System.out.println(43560 / (L1 * W2));
}
}
