\n" ); document.write( "A square yard is 3feet*3feet = 9 square feet
\n" ); document.write( "Let's find the floor eear in square feet and then convert to square yards
\n" ); document.write( "4 yards = 12 feet. So the floor area is
\n" ); document.write( "\"FloorAreaInSquareFeet+=+10+%2A+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"FloorAreaInSquareFeet+=+120\" square feet
\n" ); document.write( "Convert to square yards
\n" ); document.write( "\"FloorAreaInSquareYards+=+FloorAreaInSquareFeet%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"FloorAreaInSquareYards++=+120+%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"FloorAreaInSquareYards++13.333\" square yards
\n" ); document.write( "You will need 13 and 1/3 square yards of tile.\r
