The first thing we should do is see what relationship we have:
Table is feet to yards 3-1
a. Describe the relationship between the number of feet and the number of yards
That is to say:
1Yarda = 3 feet
b. Write an expression for the number of yards in f feet
Let
y = Yard
f = feet
We have the following expression for the conversion:
y = (1/3) f
c. Find the number of yards in 63 feet
For this case we must substitute in the expression found the value of f = 63.
y = (1/3) f
y = (1/3) (63)
y = 21
answer:
1Yarda = 3 feet
y = (1/3) f
y = 21
