Math Problem Statement

Complete the following conversions: a. 81 ft² = _______ yd² b. 10^5 yd² = _______ ft² c. 6.5 mi² = _______ acres d. 3 acres = _______ yd²

Solution

Let's go through each of the conversions:

Conversion Factors:

  1. Square Feet to Square Yards: 1yd2=9ft21 \, \text{yd}^2 = 9 \, \text{ft}^2
  2. Square Yards to Square Feet: 1yd2=9ft21 \, \text{yd}^2 = 9 \, \text{ft}^2 (inverse of the above)
  3. Square Miles to Acres: 1mi2=640acres1 \, \text{mi}^2 = 640 \, \text{acres}
  4. Acres to Square Yards: 1acre=4,840yd21 \, \text{acre} = 4,840 \, \text{yd}^2

Solutions:

a. 81ft2=?yd281 \, \text{ft}^2 = \, ? \, \text{yd}^2
To convert square feet to square yards, divide by 9: 81ft29=9yd2\frac{81 \, \text{ft}^2}{9} = 9 \, \text{yd}^2 Answer: 9yd29 \, \text{yd}^2

b. 105yd2=?ft210^5 \, \text{yd}^2 = \, ? \, \text{ft}^2
To convert square yards to square feet, multiply by 9: 105yd2×9=900,000ft210^5 \, \text{yd}^2 \times 9 = 900,000 \, \text{ft}^2 Answer: 900,000ft2900,000 \, \text{ft}^2

c. 6.5mi2=?acres6.5 \, \text{mi}^2 = \, ? \, \text{acres}
To convert square miles to acres, multiply by 640: 6.5mi2×640=4160acres6.5 \, \text{mi}^2 \times 640 = 4160 \, \text{acres} Answer: 4160acres4160 \, \text{acres}

d. 3acres=?yd23 \, \text{acres} = \, ? \, \text{yd}^2
To convert acres to square yards, multiply by 4840: 3acres×4840=14,520yd23 \, \text{acres} \times 4840 = 14,520 \, \text{yd}^2 Answer: 14,520yd214,520 \, \text{yd}^2
