How many yards in 63 feet x 4 inches?

Answer 1

63 feet and 4 inches can be converted to yards. (it's the same as 63 feet + 4 inches)

The product of 63 feet and 4 inches (63 feet x 4 inches) can only be converted to squared yards.

The easiest way to see this is to think in terms of dimensional analysis. Let L = length. L + L = 2L (it's still in terms of L) where L x L = L2 (its no longer in terms of L, it's in terms of L2)

I'll answer the question, with the assumption, that you meant squared yards.

Convert both units to yards, with the following conversion factors. Note: You should memorize some basic conversion factors, and these are two simple ones to know.

1 foot = 12 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

You can write a conversion factor as a fraction, placing one side of the equation in the numerator (top) and one side in the denominator (bottom). Do this to cancel units out.

Convert 63 feet into yards:

63 feet x ( 1 yard / 3 feet ) = (63/3) yards = 21 yards

Convert 4 inches into yards:

4 inches x (1 foot / 12 inches) x (1 yard / 3 feet) = [ (4 / 12) / 3] yards= (4/36) yards = 1/9 yards

I prefer to leave units as a fraction because it makes taking products of them easier.

Now we have:

21 yards x 1/9 yards = 21/9 square yards ~= 2.33 square yards.

The answer is 2.33 square yards.

If you meant to say 63 feet and4 inchesthan:

21 yards + 1/9 yards ~= 21.11 yards.
