Question

how many yards are 20 feet? enter your answer as a mixed number in the box. \boxed{} yd

Explanation:

Step1: Recall yard-foot conversion

1 yard = 3 feet, so conversion factor is $\frac{1\ \text{yd}}{3\ \text{ft}}$

Step2: Convert feet to yards

$20\ \text{ft} \times \frac{1\ \text{yd}}{3\ \text{ft}} = \frac{20}{3}\ \text{yd}$

Step3: Convert to mixed number

$\frac{20}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

$6\frac{2}{3}$
