Answer:

Meg and Tina measured the length of their classroom are same.

Explanation:

Given : Meg: Our classroom is
9(1)/(3)=(28)/(3) yards long

Tina: Length of classroom = 28 ft

To find : Meg and Tina measured the length of their classroom are the measurements equal?

Solution :

First we convert the units into same units.

We know that,

1 yard = 3 feet

Converting the units,


(28)/(3) yard=
(28)/(3)*3 feet


(28)/(3) yard=28 feet

i.e.
9(1)/(3) yard=28 feet

Which means Meg and Tina measured the length of their classroom are same.
