Answer:

4 yd 2 ft 5 in

Explanation:

One straightforward way to do this is to convert to inches and back:

28 yd 2 ft 6 in = (28 yd)(36 in/yd) + (2 ft)(12 in/ft) + 6 in

= 1008 in + 24 in + 6 in = 1038 in

Then your division problem looks like ...

(1038 in)/6 = 173 in

Converting this back to yards, feet, and inches can proceed like this ...

(173 in)/(36 in/yd) = 4 yd remainder 29 in . . . . . find the number of yards first

= 4 yd + (29 in)/(12 in/ft) = 4 yd 2 ft 5 in . . . . . then find feet and inches
