Answer:

5.96 square yards of flooring are needed

Explanation:

We have

1 yard = 3 feet

1 yard = 36 inch

A room is 5 ft. 6 in by 9 ft. 9 in wide.

Length = 5 ft 6 in
=(5)/(3)+(6)/(36)=(11)/(6)yard

Width = 9 ft 9 in
=(9)/(3)+(9)/(36)=3+(1)/(4)=(13)/(4)yard

Area = Length x Width
=(11)/(6)* (13)/(4)=5.96yard^2

5.96 square yards of flooring are needed
