<PRE><B>Question 930292</B>
A lawn can be mowed at an average of 44 square feet per minute. Which is closest to this rate in square yards per second?
 a - 0.01
 b - 0.08
 c - 0.24
 d - 0.31 
I have done this problem multiple times and keep coming up with answer c - 0.24
 It says the answer is b - 0.08
 ----------
Note:
1 sq ft = 1/27 sq yd = 0.03704 sq yd
1 minute = 60 sec
37----------
Your Problem:
44sq ft/min)*(0.03704 sq yd/sq ft)(1 min/60 sec) 
---
= (44*0.03704*1)/(1*1*60) = 0.02716 sq yd/sec
