Question 610953: My daughter had this problem in her homework last night. My husband and I both believe the correct answer should be 1; however, the teacher counted it wrong and said the correct answer was 36 in/yd. I still believe that would be 1 if it were totally simplified, but I could very well be wrong. Please help settle my mind on this one:
3ft/1yd x 12in/1ft
Thank you!
