Answer:

32/33

Explanation:

We first need to find out how many square yards are vacuumed every one minute.

Let's set up a chart:

yards minutes

8/11 --> 3/4

y --> 1

Here, y is the number of yards it takes to vacuum in one minute. Next, we can use cross-multiplication to find out y.

1. Multiply 1 by 8/11 to get... 8/11

2. Multiply 3/4 by y to get... 3/4y

3. Equate them: 8/11 = 3/4y

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 3/4 OR multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3 to isolate y, the variable

5. This gives us 32/33 = y
