Given:
5 ⅓ yard
Determine its measurement in feet.
Solution:
In order to make the conversion easier, we will change ⅓ into decimal and add it to 5.
⅓ = 0.333
= 5 + 0.333
= 5.333 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
Since 1 yard is equal to 3 foot, we multiply 3 by 5.333
= ( 5.333 yards) (3 feet/ 1 yard)
The unit yard cancels
= 15.999 or 16 feet
Final answer: 5 ⅓ yard is equivalent to 16 feet.
