Question

What is the area of a piece of garden plot 5 yards 2 feet long by 6 yards 1 foot wide? Give your answer in square feet. A. 323 square feet B. 270 square feet C. 70 square feet D. 49 square feet

Answer 1

change yrds to ft

5yds = 5*3 = 15 ft

5yds 2 ft = 15ft + 2ft = 17 ft

6yds = 6 * 3 = 18 ft

6 yds 1 ft = 18 + 1

19 ft

A = l * w

A  = 17* 19

A = 323 ft^2

Choice A
