Question

what part of a yard is one-half of a foot?
A. 1/12
B. 1/4
C. 1/3
D. 1/6
E. 1/2

Answer 1

A foot is 1/3 of a yard... so half a foot is half of 1/3, which is 1/6. You have to multiply the two fractions.

Answer 2

A foot = 1/3 of a yard.

so 1/2 of a foot = (1/2)(1/3) of a yard, right?

So just take the product.....
