b.
c.
5333 sq yards
100 sq yards
16000 sq yards
a.

Answer 1

Answer: 16000 square yards

Explanation:

Well convert 48,000 feet to yards to find the area in square yards.

It says that

3 ft is 1 yards so you can set up the proportional equation and solve for how many yards there will be.

`(48000)/(3) = (x)/(1)` cross product to solve for x

3x = 48000

x= 16000

So there are 16000 square yards for 48000 square feet

Answer 2

48000/3 = 16000
so the field is 16000 sq yards
