there are 3 feet in a yard
750' divided by 3' = 250
The answer is 250 square yards

Answer 2

Hello!

To find the area, you must multiply the length by the width:

30 • 25 = 750

How much is 750 sq ft in yards?

Well, 1 ft = 0.333 yard.

750 ft = 250 yards.

So, you need 750 sq feet of carpet, and 250 sq yards of carpet.

I hope you found this helpful! :)
