Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting yards to feet means that we want the label of yards to cancel, leaving feet as our label. Use the factor-label method taught in chemistry.

$???yds *\frac{3feet}{1yd}$

The yards label cancels out, leaving feet as our label. So to answer the question, in order to convert from yards to feet you are multiplying by 3.

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Denise used 360 minutes out of 450 minutes. You would set this up as a fraction. Then, you would have to find out the percentage of how much Denise used. You would put 360/450 across from x/100. You find the value of x by multiplying 360*100 which equals 36000. You then would divide it by 450 to get a product of 80. This is how you would get 80%.
