Question

Find what fractional part 2 ft. 6 in. is of 5 yd.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the answer is $\frac{5}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 2 feet 6 inches  = (2 $\times$ 12) + 6 + 30 inches

ii) 3 yards  = 3 $\times$ 3 feet = 9 feet = 9 $\times$ 12 inches  = 108 inches

iii) therefore $\frac{2ft.6in.}{5 yd.} \hspace{0.1cm}= \hspace{0.1cm}\frac{30}{108} \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm}\frac{5}{18}$

Therefore the answer is $\frac{5}{18}$
