24 yards is 72 feet.
One yard is the same length as 3 feet. If you measure off 3 feet 42 times, you've measured off 126 feet, and you've gone 42 yards.
There are 3 feet in one yard. Therefore, 2 yards is equal to 6 feet. This is two feet shorter than eight, therefore, two feet need to be chopped off.
The question is "10 feet is equal to how many yards?" You must remember that there are 3 feet in 1 yard. So to find out how many yards is in 10 feet, you divide 10 by 3. The answer is therefore 3.333 recuring. So you then round it off to 3.33 which is the hundredth place.
2 yards=6 feet.
A hint to start you off: there are 3 feet in 1 yard...
The original answer (below) was off by a factor of 3, a surveyor's rod = 5.5 yards. So (2 yards)/(5.5 yards/rod) = 4/11 rod or about 0.364 rod.This is the original answer refers to fencing rod, but this is actually 5.5 yards (not feet) as originally stated. I found reference to an 80 rod roll equal to 1320 feet (see link).
using google with this query: 660 feet in yard you get: 60 feet = 220 yard http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=660+feet+in+yard&btnG=Search
The English unit divisions of a mile are: quarter mile - 1320 feet (440 yards) furlong - 660 feet (220 yards) chain - 66 feet (22 yards) rod - 16.5 feet yard - 3 feet foot - 1/5280 mile So there are 3 feet to a yard, 5.5 yards to a rod, 4 rods to a chain, 10 chains in a furlong, 8 furlongs per mile. Because of the 1/8 division, 5 furlongs is almost exactly 1 kilometer (off by 16 feet).
9 0 8 5 2 10 _____ 3 0 10 _____ Do the subtraction just like decimal, but remember these are yards, feet, and inches, so when you borrow from the feet position you are borrowing 12 inches and when borrowing from the yards position you are borrowing 3 feet
To start things off, we need to know that 1 yard= 3 feet, and 1 foot= 12 inches. The fabric is 7 feet and 6 inches. We need to convert the inches into feet, and we do so by doing 6 divided by the conversion factor 6/12= 0.5 feet. 7 feet+0.5 feet=7.5 feet So now we know that we have 7.5 feet of fabric. Once again, we need to convert from feet into yards. We do this by using another conversion factor (1 yard= 3 feet) 7.5 feet/3= 2.5 yards of fabric
