Question

Hello. I can't solve this math problem. I don't get it and don't know how to show my work. Could you help me?

Answer 1

The given equation is,

`(1)/(6)of\text{ 3yards=}\ldots.feet`

We know 1 yard=3 feet.

Therefore,

`3\text{ yards=3}*3feet=9\text{ f}eet`

Hence,

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(6)\text{ of 3 yards=}(1)/(6)*3\text{ yards} \\ =(1)/(6)*9\text{ f}eet \\ =(3)/(2)feet \\ =1.5\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`(1)/(6)of\text{ 3yards=1.5 }feet`
