Question

If a rectangle measures 15 inches by 1 3/4 feet, what is the perimeter in yards ? What is the area in square feet? Rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

For this case the first thing that we must take into account is the following conversion of units:
1 yard = 36 inches
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
We have then:
The perimeter is:
P = 2 * (15 * (1/36)) + 2 * ((1 3/4) * (1/3))
P = 2 yards
The area is:
A = (15 * (1/12)) * (1 3/4)
A = 2.1875 feet ^ 2
Answer:
the perimeter in yards is:
P = 2 yards
The area in square feet is:
A = 2.2 feet ^ 2
