What is the answer to math like 6yd - z equals 2yd 2ft?

Answer 1

To solve the equation (6 \text{ yd} - z = 2 \text{ yd} 2 \text{ ft}), first convert everything to the same unit. Since 2 feet is (\frac{2}{3}) yards, (2 \text{ yd} 2 \text{ ft}) is equivalent to (2 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \text{ yd}). Rearranging the equation gives (z = 6 \text{ yd} - \frac{8}{3} \text{ yd} = \frac{18}{3} \text{ yd} - \frac{8}{3} \text{ yd} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ yd}). Thus, (z = \frac{10}{3} \text{ yd}) or approximately (3 \text{ yd} 1 \text{ ft}).
