Question

A rectangular floor is 18 feet long and 12 feet wide. What is the area of the floor in square yards?

Answer 1

18*12=216    216/3=72 the floor is 72 yds

Answer 2

Hey there!

To find the area, multiply the the two side lengths. 12 x 18 =216. This is 216 ft^2. You need to convert this to yards, so divide 216 by 3 because there’s 3 feet in a yard. 216/3=72. The answer is 72 yd^2.

I hope this helps!
