The yard measures \"+60%2A80+\" square feet
\n" ); document.write( "That is \"+60+\" ft by \"+80+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Convert feet to yards
\n" ); document.write( "\"+60%2F3+=+20+\" yds
\n" ); document.write( "\"+80%2F3+=+26.667+\" yds
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In square yds, it measures:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20%2A26.667+=+533.333+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+533.333+%2F+200+=+2.667+\" bags needed
\n" ); document.write( "Jeremy needs 3 bags to cover the yard.
\n" ); document.write( "He will use 2 full bags and 2/3 of another bag
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check my math!
\n" ); document.write( "( It's kind of confusing that they talk about \"yards\"
\n" ); document.write( "as a unit of measure referring to a \"yard\"
\n" ); document.write( "that he is covering. They should have called it
\n" ); document.write( "a \"lawn' -Oh well )\r
