Answer 1

Converting feet into yards.

Recall that one yard =3 feet

`1\text{ yard=3 f}eet`

Multiply by 5/3 on both sides, we get

`1*(5)/(3)\text{ yard=3 }*(5)/(3)\text{f}eet`

`(5)/(3)\text{ yard=}5\text{f}eet`
`\text{Use }(5)/(3)=1(2)/(3)`

`1(2)/(3)\text{ yard=}5\text{f}eet`

The answer is

`1(2)/(3)\text{ yards}`
