Answer:
y = f/9
Explanation:
Area of a floor in square yards = y = f/9
Area of a floor in square feet = f
The number that represents the area of the floor in square feet is 9 times the number representing the area in square yards. This makes sense because the ratio of yard to feet is 1 : 3 and the ratio of square yard to square feet is the same ratio but squared so 1 : 9.
If y represents the area in square yards and f the area in square feet.
y = f/9
