Question

here are some facts about units of length.
unit | symbol | fact
inch | in |
foot | ft | 1 ft=12 in
yard | yd | 1 yd=3 ft
fill in the blanks.
60 in=□ ft
9 yd=□ ft

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to feet

We know that \( 1 \text{ ft} = 12 \text{ in} \), so to convert inches to feet, we divide the number of inches by 12. For \( 60 \text{ in} \):
\( 60 \div 12 = 5 \)

Step2: Convert yards to feet

We know that \( 1 \text{ yd} = 3 \text{ ft} \), so to convert yards to feet, we multiply the number of yards by 3. For \( 9 \text{ yd} \):
\( 9 \times 3 = 27 \)

Answer:

\( 60 \text{ in} = \boldsymbol{5} \text{ ft} \)
\( 9 \text{ yd} = \boldsymbol{27} \text{ ft} \)
