Question

a person is planting one garden bed that is 15 feet in length and another that is 9 feet in length. what is the total length, in yards, of the two garden beds combined?
a 72 yards
b 24 yards
c 8 yards
d 6 yards

Explanation:

Step1: Find total length in feet

First, we need to find the total length of the two garden beds in feet. The lengths are 15 feet and 9 feet. So we add them together: $15 + 9 = 24$ feet.

Step2: Convert feet to yards

We know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. To convert feet to yards, we divide the total length in feet by 3. So, $\frac{24}{3} = 8$ yards.

Answer:

C. 8 yards
