For 2/3 = 4/6 and 4/8 = 1/2
Answer:
22/3 yards, roughly 7.33 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is 3 feet in 1 yard.
Given 22 feet, we divide by 3 to find the amount of yards, thus changing the unit.
The exact amount of yards is just 22/3, which you can estimate to 7.33 yds.
We can set up a proportion to find this
60 x
--- = ----
100 1200
then we cross multiply and divide to solve
60 times 1200 is 72000 divided by 100 is 720
now we know his employer pays 720 out of 1200
we subtract to find out how much he pays
1200-720 is 480
fred pays 480
