Given:
A carpenter uses a 15-foot tape measure.
Determine how many yards are in 15 feet.
Solution:
In order to determine how many yards are in 15 feet, we simply needed to convert the value using the general conversion method.
1 yard = 3 feet
= (15 ft)(1 yd/3ft)
The unit ft cancels.
= 15 yd/3
= 5 yards
Final answer:
= 5 yards
