Question

question 4 of 10
what would the answer to the following conversion problem be?
$96\text{ ft} \times \frac{1\text{ yd}}{3\text{ ft}}$

a. $\frac{32\text{ ft}}{1\text{ yd}}$
b. $\frac{32\text{ yd}}{1\text{ ft}}$
c. $32\text{ ft}$
d. $32\text{ yd}$

Explanation:

Step1: Cancel units

We have \( 96\ \text{ft} \times \frac{1\ \text{yd}}{3\ \text{ft}} \). The "ft" units cancel out.

Step2: Perform multiplication

Calculate \( \frac{96\times1\ \text{yd}}{3} \). \( 96\div3 = 32 \), so we get \( 32\ \text{yd} \).

Answer:

D. 32 yd
