There are 3 feet in one yard.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, first convert 2_3/4 yards and 1_1/14 yards to feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then find the area of the rectangle using Area = length times width.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then find the area of the square using Area = (side of square) times (side of square). Then multiply this area by 20 representing the 20 squares you want to divide the rectangle into. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finally divide area of rectangle by the area of the square times 20.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, the final fraction you need to simplify is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(area of rectangle, in feet)/(area of square times 20) = \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
