Given:

The length of a string in yards is a function f(n) of the length n in inches

To find:

The function rule for the given situation.

Solution:

We know that,

12 inches = 1 yard

1 inch =
(1)/(12) yard

n inches =
(n)/(12) yards

It is given that the length of a string in yards is a function f(n) of the length n in inches. So,


f(n)=(n)/(12)

Therefore, the required function for the given situation is
f(n)=(n)/(12).
