Answer 2

Answer:

B. 35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply 15 by 21 to get 315 ft.

2. Convert square feet to square yards to get 35

3. There are 3 feet in ONE yard. The question asks you to convert the area from SQUARE feet to SQUARE yards. Squared means two. Three feet (or one yard) doubled is 9, so divide 315ft by 9.

4. 315 divided by 9 gives you 35
