Question

1. convert $\frac{12}{5}$ ft into yards.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

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

Step2: Multiply by conversion factor

$\frac{12}{5}\text{ ft} \times \frac{1}{3}\text{ yd/ft}$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$\frac{12}{5 \times 3} = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$ yards (or 0.8 yards)
