Question

A rectangular floor is 15 feet long and 12 feet wide. What is the area of the floor in square yards?

Answer 1

20 yd ^2

Explanation:

(15/3)(12/3) =

5 * 4 = 20 yd^2

Answer 2

20 square yards. There are 3 feet in a yard so divide both factors by 3. 15/3 = 5, 12/3=4. Then multiply those, 5 x 4 = 20 square yards.
