Answer 1

Same principle as the last three problems you have posted.

How many sq ft in 1 sq yard?

(Other posters: please don't answer the answer yet ;-) )

Answer 2

Let me ask you: how many feet in 1 yard?

Answer 3

3 ft

Answer 4

Right, so now, draw a diagram of 1 sq yard, and tell me how many sq feet there are in 1 sq yard

Answer 5

im lost

Answer 6

im terrible @ math

Answer 7

Draw out 1 sq yard, and mark along the horizontal sides and the vertical sides the 3 feet

Then draw a grid of the all the square feet in that one square yard

Answer 8

its like u r speaking another language :<

Answer 9

anyone answer plz.....

Answer 10

give me a second, and I'll show you the diagram ... take a couple of minutes to draw

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

chef-dimples, try to understand what JamesJ is saying, really try.

Answer 13

Ok. So this diagram shows one sq yard. Each side 1 yard long.

Answer 14

And each yard comprises of 3 feet. So we have a grid of sq feet inside the sq yard.

How many sq feet are there in this sq yard? Count them up

Answer 15

3*4=12

Answer 16

Seriously? Look again.

Answer 17

or is it 9 since thats how many little boxes i see?

Answer 18

Yes, 9. Or 3 times 3.

Answer 19

So 1 sq yard = 9 sq feet

Answer 20

ok so i divide 142 2/9 by 9?

Answer 21

Think about it. Are you going to have more sq feet than sq yards or less sq feet than sq yards?

Answer 22

If you divide you are going to have less. Can that possibly be right?

Answer 23

ugh! maybe im not understanding this word problem i am reading!!!!

Answer 24

If 1 sq yard = 9 sq feet
then

10 sq yard = 90 sq feet

and

100 sq yard = 900 sq feet

So
142 2/9 sq yd = __ sq ft?

Answer 25

its asking me to make the necessary conversion on how much carpet needs to be ordered if its sold by sq ft only!

Answer 26

Yes, so what are we doing here. If we have a certain number of sq yards, how do we get the number in sq feet. Look at the examples above.

Answer 27

multiply

Answer 28

1 sq yard = 9 sq feet

5 sq yard = 45 sq feet

10 sq yard = 90 sq feet

100 sq yard = 900 sq feet

Answer 29

Yes. Multiply.

Answer 30

multiply the 142 by 9 then the 2/9 by 9?

Answer 31

Sure

Answer 32

142*9=1278 and 2/9*9=1.98 right?

Answer 33

2/9 x 9 = 2 !!!!

Answer 34

For example:
\[\frac{2}{9} \times 9 = \frac{18}{2} = 9\]

Answer 35

i never know when i should round off, omg, i suck @ math

Answer 36

It's not a question of rounding. It's a basic question of manipulating fractions.

If I have nine 9ths, i.e., 9 x (1/9), then that is 1. Take a pie, cut it up into 9 equal slices, how much are the nine slices? They are the whole pie.

Answer 37

Anyway, what is the answer to
142 2/9 sq yd = __ sq ft?

Answer 38

1287 sq ft

Answer 39

1278 + 9 =1287?

Answer 40

No.

142 x 9 = 1,278
2/9 x 9 = 2

So

(142 2/9) x 9 = 142 x 9 + 2/9 x 9
= 1,278 + 2
= 1,280
