Answer:

y = f/9

Explanation:

Area of a floor in square yards = y = f/9

Area of a floor in square feet = f

The number that represents the area of the floor in square feet is 9 times the number representing the area in square yards. This makes sense because the ratio of yard to feet is 1 : 3 and the ratio of square yard to square feet is the same ratio but squared so 1 : 9.

If y represents the area in square yards and f the area in square feet.

y = f/9
