Question

A field is 53 1/3 yards wide. What is the width of the field in feet?

Answer 1

Answer: The width of the field = 160 feet

Explanation:

We are given that , A field is
`53(1)/(3)` yards wide.

That means , The width of the field =
`53(1)/(3)` yards

Since , the fraction is in mixed for , so first we convert this into improper fraction.

`53(1)/(3)=(3(53)+1)/(3)=(160)/(3)`

Therefore , the width of the field =
`(160)/(3)` yards

Since 1 yard = 3 feet.

⇒ the width of the field =
`(160)/(3)*3` feet

Therefore , the width of the field = 160 feet
