Question

Because there are 3 feet in every yard, the formula F = 3 ⋅ Y will convert Y yards into F feet. Find F ifY = 5 yards5 yards converts to ? feet.

Answer 1

The problem says that

$\text{feet}=3\cdot\text{yards}$

Then, if we want to convert yards to feet, we got to multiply it by three. The question is, how many feet is 5 yards? let's use the formula:

$\begin{gathered} \text{feet}=3\cdot5 \\ \\ \text{feet}=15 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 5 yards is 15 feet
