use the table of facts to find the depth of the crater in yards.
round your answer to the nearest tenth.
conversion facts for length
12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft)
3 feet (ft) = 1 yard (yd)
36 inches (in) = 1 yard (yd)
5280 feet (ft) = 1 mile (mi)
1760 yards (yd) = 1 mile (mi)
422763.6 yd

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to yards

Use the conversion factor $36 \text{ in} = 1 \text{ yd}$, so divide the depth in inches by 36.
$\frac{15219.88}{36}$

Step2: Calculate and round to nearest tenth

Perform the division and round the result.
$15219.88 \div 36 \approx 422.8$

Answer:

422.8 yd
