Final answer:

To determine the length of the room in yards, divide the number of feet by 3. To determine the length of the room in units of 3 feet, also divide the number of feet by 3. To determine how many times as long the room is than 3 feet, divide the length of the room by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions can be answered as -

i. To determine the length of the room in yards, divide the number of feet, L, by 3, since there are 3 feet in 1 yard. The expression would be L/3.

ii. To determine the length of the room in units of 3 feet (yards), divide the number of feet, L, by 3 to convert to yards. The expression would be L/3.

iii. To determine how many times as long the room is than 3 feet, divide the length of the room by 3. The expression would be L/3.
