Answer 7

\((18\;ft)*(12\;ft) = 216\;ft^{2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{1\;yd}{3\;ft}\right)^{2}\)

Alternatively

\(\left(18\;ft\cdot\dfrac{1\;yd}{3\;ft}\right)*\left(12\;ft\cdot\dfrac{1\;yd}{3\;ft}\right) = (6\;yd)*(4\;yd)\)

The notation can help you if you let it by practicing.

Answer 8

right, so we have 6 yards and 4 yards as our length and width

to find the area, all we need to do is multiply

6*4 = ?

Answer 9
