How can you use a mixed number ti write 11 feet as an equivalent measure in yards
1 answer:
Answer: 3 2/3 Yards
Step-by-step Solution:
In order to solve this problem, you'll want to set up a conversion equation.
** 1 Yard = 3 Feet **
To convert these measurements you'll need to write this conversion factor as a conversion ratio. Your ratio will be 1 yard / 3 feet. This fraction is actually equal to 1, meaning we can multiply it by any number to convert the units without changing its value.
You can then solve by using simple division. I will attach a photo of the steps I did by hand.
** Canceling the units will help avoid confusion **
After you reach the 6th step, all you have to do to find your mixed number is see how many times 3 fits into 11.
3 can go into 11 3 times, with a remainder of 2. Your final answer should be 3 2/3 yards.
I hope this helps! c:

Answer:
- 8 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the polygon into 3 triangles as pictured below
<u>They have base and height:</u>
- 4 and 3, 1 and 1, 3 and 1
<u>Find the area of 3 triangles and add up:</u>
- A = 1/2bh
- A = 1/2*4*3 + 1/2*1*1 + 1/2*1*3 = 6 + 1/2 + 3/2 = 8 square units
