Question

How do you convert square feet to square yards?

24 Square feet to square yards. There are 9 square feet in 1 yard square.

Answer 1

multiply the square feet by 9 i think

Answer 2

So 9 times nine? or 9 times 24? I tried nine times 24 and it said it was wrong and to try again.

Answer 3

I used the formula for conversion but it doesn't work with this problem. :(

Answer 4

1 yard is 3 ft, yes?

Answer 5

No its says its nine.

Answer 6

Unless I have to use the actual metric sheet.

Answer 7

The square root of 9 would be 3, right?

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 1~\color{grey}{\rm yard}=3~\color{grey}{\rm ft} }\)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle (1~\color{grey}{\rm yard})^2=(3~\color{grey}{\rm ft})^2 }\)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 1~\color{grey}{\rm yard^2}=9~\color{grey}{\rm ft^2} }\)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle (1/9)~\color{grey}{\rm yard^2}=1~\color{grey}{\rm ft^2} }\)

Answer 10

Oh, that makes much more sense. Thank you.

Answer 11

Aw...

Answer 12

So, if you want to convert \(x\) square-feet to square-yards, then, you get.

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle (1/9)~\color{grey}{\rm yard^2}=1~\color{grey}{\rm ft^2} }\)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle (x/9)~\color{grey}{\rm yard^2}=x~\color{grey}{\rm ft^2} }\)

Answer 13

I am still getting the answer wrong.

Answer 14

I must be forgetting somethings.

Answer 15

All I could think is 3yd^2.

Answer 16

I finally figured it out. The answer was 24/9.

Answer 17

yes, 24/9 square-yards.
