Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

y = \frac{x}{36}y=

36

x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of string = x inches

Required

Determine the length in yards

Represent the equivalent length with y

Such that

y = x\ inchesy=x inches

Divide x by 36 to get equivalent in yards

y = \frac{1}{36} * xy=

36

∗x

y = \frac{x}{36}y=

36

x

Hence, the equivalent in yards is \frac{x}{36}

36

x
