Question

\[1/2\] yard is how many feet?

Answer 1

Hint: To convert the given yard value to feet, first recall the relation between the yard and the feet. Then using the unitary method, first find the number of feet in unit one yard then multiply it with the given value that we want to convert here multiply the number of feet in the unit yard to \[1/2\].

Complete step by step solution:
As we have to convert the given \[1/2\] yard to feet,
Since we know that,
\[1\] yard is equal to \[3\] feet
\[\Rightarrow 1{ yard = 3 feets}\]
So now to convert the \[x\] yard to feet, multiply \[x\] with the number of feet in one yard and that are \[3\] feet in unit yard
Here, \[x=1/2\]
\[\Rightarrow 1/2{ yard = }\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3{ feet}\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}\] feet
\[\Rightarrow 1.5\] feet
Thus, we have successfully converted \[1/2\] yard to feet.

Hence, \[1/2{ yard = 1}{.5 feet}\]

Note:
In this type of unit conversion first find the relation between them and then just apply the unitary methods. Now convert the unit value in another unit then just multiply this calculated value with the required value that we want to convert into another.
