Answer to Problem 47P

The result is $216feet=72yd$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\_ft=72yd$

Calculation:

The objective is to convert yards to feet.

The given units are customary units of lengths. For conversion, refer to conversion table:

Unit 1	Unit 2
1 foot (ft.)	12 inches
1 yard	3 feet
Mile	1760 yds.

Since, 1 yard has 3 feet, to find feet in 72 yards, multiply no. of yards by 3

  $\begin{array}{l}72yds=72\times 3\\ =216feet\\ or\\ 216feet=72yd\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the result is $216feet=72yd$
