Question

69 in = ____yd but turn it into a fraction not a decimal

Answer 1

`1 (11)/(12) \text{ yd}`

Explanation:

We know that there are 36 inches in 1 yard. Using this information, we can construct the conversion rate:

1 yd : 36 in

To convert 69 in to yards, we simply have to multiply it by the above conversion rate.

`69 \text{ in} \cdot \frac{1 \text{ yd}}{36\text{ in}}`

↓ multiply the numerators

`\frac{69 \\ot\text{in} \cdot \text{ yd}}{36 \\ot \text{in}}`

↓ cancel inches

`(69)/(36)\text{ yd}`

↓ rewrite as a mixed number

`1 (33)/(36) \text{ yd}`

↓ simplify

`\boxed{1 (11)/(12) \text{ yd}}`
