First of all, we need to know what the units are in this problem.
We can see that there is yards, inches, and feet.
(Keep in mind that yd = yard, ft = feet, and in = inches)
1yd = 3ft
1ft = 12in
Let's figure out how many inches are in a yard.
If we know that 3 feet are in every yard, and 12 inches are in every foot, we can make an equation that looks like this:
(1yd × 3ft) × 12 = 36
This means that there are 36 inches in every foot.
Now that we know how many inches are in a yard, lets figure out how many inches are in 10 yards.
36 × 10 = 360
There are 360 inches in 10 yards.
Now, let's figure out how much 360 inches exceeds 192 inches.
360 - 192 = 168
To convert this to feet, we need to use an equation that looks like this:
168 ÷ 12 = 14
Therefore, the amount of feet that the length of the room exceeds the width is 14 feet.
