In order to determine the area of the lot of land in squared yards, proceed as follow:
Convert the dimensions of the rectangle to yards, by using the given conversion factor:
![\begin{gathered} 7\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{2.5yd}{1\operatorname{cm}}=17.5yd \\ 15\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{2.5yd}{1\operatorname{cm}}=37.5yd \end{gathered}]()
Next, consider that the area of the lot is the area of a rectangle. Replace the previous values of the length and the width of the rectangle:
Hence, the area of the lot of land is 656.25 sq yd
