Question

An area of 4 square yards is equal to 36 square feet. Using this information, 10 square yards is equal to how many square feet? Explain your reasoning for how you determined your answer.

Answer 1

90 ft^2

Explanation:

An area of 4 square yards is equal to an area of 36 feet square.

● 4 yd^2 = 36 ft^2

Divide both sides by 4

● 4/4 yd^2 = 36/4 ft^2

● 1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2

It's easier now

Multiply 1 yd^2 by 10 to answer the question and don't forget to do the same for 9 ft^2 to keep the equation correct

● 10 yd^2 = 9 × 10 ft^2

● 10 yd^2 = 90 ft^2

Answer 2

90 sqft

Explanation:

With the given knowledge that 4 square yards is 36 square feet, you can determine that 9 sqft is equal to 1 sqyd. Now that you know this, you can simply multiply 10 sqyd by 9 sqft (9 * 10) to get a result of 90.
