Question

Find what fractional part 2 ft. 6 in. is of 5 yd.

Answer 1

Therefore the answer is
`(5)/(18)`

Explanation:

i) 2 feet 6 inches = (2
`*` 12) + 6 + 30 inches

ii) 3 yards = 3
`*` 3 feet = 9 feet = 9
`*` 12 inches = 108 inches

iii) therefore
`(2ft.6in.)/(5 yd.) \hspace{0.1cm}= \hspace{0.1cm}(30)/(108) \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm}(5)/(18)`

Therefore the answer is
`(5)/(18)`
