I need to find the area of a yard. It is 2 3/4 yds by 3 2/3 yds. I have to find it in square yards.
:
Convert to improper fractions: 2 3/4 = 11/4; and 3 2/3 = 11/3
:
The area equation:
A = 11%2F4 * 11%2F3 = 121%2F12
:
Divide 121 by 12, you get a whole number of 10 and a remainder of 1
: 10 & 1/12 sq yds is the area, decimal would be 10.08333 sq yds
