Question

Problem Set 100 yd. =

Answer 1

Answer:

1 yard = 3 feet

We can re-write this by dividing both sides by yards or feet to get

1 = 3 feet / 1 yard

or

1 yard / 3 feet = 1

Since we're solving for feet we want yards to cancel, so use the top proportion

(3 feet / 1 yard)(100 yards) = 300 feet / 1 = 300 feet
