Answer:

The speed in yards per year is 60.8.

Explanation:

To convert the speed from inches per day to yards per year, we need to first convert the speed to inches per year and then convert the units to yards per year.

First, we can convert the speed to inches per year by multiplying the speed by the number of days in a year:

Speed (inches/day) * Days per year = Speed (inches/year)

6 inches/day * 365 days/year = 2190 inches/year

Next, we can convert the units to yards per year by dividing the speed in inches per year by the number of inches per yard:

Speed (inches/year) / Inches per yard = Speed (yards/year)

2190 inches/year / 36 inches/yard = 60.8 yards/year

Rounding to the nearest 10th, we have:

60.8 yards/year ≈ 60.8 yards/year

Therefore, the speed in yards per year is 60.8.
