Final answer:
To convert 10 feet to yards, use the conversion of 1 yard being equal to 3 feet. The conversion yields 3 1/3 yards as the simplest form for 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked to convert 10 feet to yards and express the answer in its simplest form. To do this, we need to know the standard conversion between feet and yards. We have the established knowledge that 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet. Therefore, we can use this conversion factor to perform the conversion.
To convert 10 feet to yards, we set up a fraction that will allow us to cancel the unit of feet and introduce the unit of yards:
10 feet × (1 yard / 3 feet)
The feet units cancel out, leaving us with:
10 / 3 yards = 3.333... yards
However, the question asks for the simplest form, so we express this as a mixed number:
3
1/
3 yards
Thus, 10 feet is equal to 3 1/3 yards in its simplest form.
