First, converting them into fraction.
155%2F6+=+95%2F6
102%2F5+=+52%2F5
11%2F3+=+4%2F3
Second, Find the Area.
A = %2895%2F6%29+x+%2852%2F5%29+=+494%2F3 yard^2
Third, Find the number of sods by dividing the Area to 4/3.
sods = %28494%2F3%29%2F%284%2F3%29 = %28494%2F3%29 x %283%2F4%29 = 247%2F2 = 1231%2F2 sods
