Answer 1

ANSWER

The length of the crater in yards is 312.1 yards

EXPLANATION

Given that

The depth of the crater is 11, 234.35 inches

Follow the steps below to find the depth of the crater in yard

Let x represents the length of the crater in yard

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Recall, that 36 inches is 1 yrd} \\ \\ \text{ 36 inches }\rightarrow\text{ 1 yard} \\ \text{ 11,234.45 inches }\rightarrow\text{ x yards} \\ \text{ cross multiply} \\ \text{ 1 yard }\times\text{ 11,234.45 inches }=\text{ 36 inches }\times\text{ xyards} \\ \text{ Isolate x} \\ \text{ x yards }=\text{ }\frac{1\text{ yard}\times11,234.45\cancel{inches}}{36\cancel{inches}} \\ \\ x\text{ yards }=\text{ }\frac{1\text{ }\times\text{ 11,234.45}}{36} \\ \text{ x }=\frac{11,234.45}{36} \\ x\text{ }=\text{ 312.1 yards} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the length of the crater in yards is 312.1 yards
