Question

which proportion could you use to convert 33 feet to yards?
$\frac{3\text{ feet}}{1\text{ yard}}=\frac{33\text{ feet}}{?\text{ yards}}$
$\frac{3\text{ feet}}{1\text{ yard}}=\frac{?\text{ yards}}{33\text{ feet}}$
convert.
33 feet = yards

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet. Let $x$ be the number of yards in 33 feet. The correct proportion is $\frac{3\text{ feet}}{1\text{ yard}}=\frac{33\text{ feet}}{x\text{ yards}}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply

$3x = 33\times1$.

Step3: Solve for $x$

$x=\frac{33}{3}=11$.

Answer:

11
