Will Give medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It isn't A or B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it C

OpenStudy (lasttccasey):

Well put the units over each other to get a clear view,\[60 \frac{ ft }{ hr }*\frac{1* yd }{3* ft } \rightarrow 20\frac{ yd }{ hr }\]when you multiply, the feet will cancel leaving you with yd/hr. You have to multiple so that the units you don't want will cancel.

So it would be D because 1 yd/3ft

OpenStudy (lasttccasey):

Yep, that is the correct answer!
