<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
The length of an object in feet is equal to 3 times its length in yards. The length of a waterslide is 48 feet. Write and solve a multiplication equation to find the length of the waterslide in yards.
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The length of waterslide is 16 yards
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
The length of an object object in feet is equal to 3 times it’s length in yards
The length of wall water side slide is 48 feet
Let "y" be the length of object in yards
Write and solve a multiplication equation to find the length of the waterslides in yard
From given,
Length in feet = 3 times length in yards

<em><u>Therefore, the multiplication equation is:</u></em>

Solve the equation for "y"
Divide both sides of equation by 3

Thus length of waterslide is 16 yards
