Question

Jessica bought 3 1/3 yards of fabric. How much is this in feet?Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form.Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

To solve the question, first, let's transform the number into an improper fraction using 3 as the denominator:

`\begin{gathered} 3\text{ }(1)/(3)=(3*3+1)/(3) \\ (9+1)/(3) \\ (10)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Now, let's transform 10/3 yards into feet.

Knowing that:

1 yard = 3 feet

Then,

10/3 yard = 3*10/3 feet

10/3 yard = 10 feet

Answer: 10 feet.
