? What are the instructions for this problem?

1 yard = 3 feet. Use that to convert the rest of the problem. So Yeaa and I Agree with @Hero Where are they?

Express each ratio as a unit rate.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A unit rate is a ratio that has a denominator of 1. A unit rate is also called a unit ratio. (They mean the same thing.)
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\] and 3:8 and 40 to 10 are ratios, but they are not unit ratios.
\[\frac{ 1.25 }{ 1 }\] and 0375:1 and 4 to 1 are unit ratios.
Any ratio can be converted into a unit ratio by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.
\[\frac{ a }{ b } = \frac{ a \div b }{ b \div b }= \frac{ a \div b }{ 1 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, I see. So, you just plug in the numbers into the formula ab=a÷bb÷b=a÷b1 and then just solve?
