Question

What’s the correct answer for this question?

Answer 1

9.6 acres

Explanation:

First we have to change the yards to feet. 1 yd = 3 ft.

173 yds x 3 = 519 ft

269 yds x 3 = 807 ft

From here, use a calculator if you don't wan't to stress yourself.

807 x 519 = 418833

418833/43560 = 9.61508264463 ≈ 9.6

Answer 2

9.6 acres

Explanation:

You want the area in acres of a rectangular field that is 173 yards long and 269 yards wide.

Area

The area of an acre in square yards is ...

(43560 ft²/ac)/(9 ft²/yd²) = 4840 yd²/ac

The area of the field is ...

A = LW

A = (173 yd)(269 yd) / (4840 yd²/ac) ≈ 9.615 ac ≈ 9.6 ac

The area of the field is about 9.6 acres.
