Question

Explain how to answer the word problem below.

3 feet = 1 yard
John has 476 feet of yarn and he needs to know how many yards he has. How many yards of yarn does John have. (solve and explain)

Answer 1

158.7 this is because you have to divide 476 by 3 because each 3 feet of yarn is a yard. Hope that makes sense I’m not very good at explaining.

Answer 2

You get 158.667 yards of yarn

Explanation-You dived the length value by 3 since 3 feet = 1 yard
