Grade: 6-a Lesson: S3-L1

Explanation: Here are some examples of the topic with images and steps in sequence.

Examples:

The length of the school’s playground is 60 feet, the width is 40 feet, and the basketball court is 94 inches wide. Convert the width of the basketball court to feet and yards.

Step 1a

To convert the width of the basketball court from inches to feet, you need to divide the number of inches by 12 (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot).

\$("94 inches")/12\$ = 7.83 feet (rounded to two decimal places).

So, the width of the basketball court in feet is approximately 7.83 feet.

Explanation: To convert a value from inches to feet, divide the given value by 12. So, when the basketball court’s width which is 94 inches is divided by 12, it becomes 7.83 feet approximately.

Step 1b

To convert the width to yards, you need to divide the number of feet by 3 (since 1 yard = 3 feet).

\$("7.83 feet")/3\$ = 2.61 yards (rounded to two decimal places).

So, the width of the basketball court in yards is approximately 2.61 yards.

Explanation: To convert feet to yards, divide the given value by 3. So, when the basketball court’s width which is 7.83 feet is divided by 3, it becomes 2.61 yards approximately.
