Question

Ge A flower bed has the shape of a rectangle 24 feet long and 9 feet wide. What is its area in square yards? Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 24 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the dimensions into yards using the conversion

1 yard = 3 feet

24 feet = $\frac{24}{3}$ = 8 yards

9 feet = $\frac{9}{3}$ = 3 yards

area = length × width = 8 × 3 = 24 yd²
