A football field is 160ft wide. Convert the width to yards. Write your answer as a mixed number<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To convert the width of a football field from feet<\/strong> to yards<\/strong>, we use the fact that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 yard = 3 feet<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n So, to convert 160 feet to yards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ This means 160 feet is 53 full yards<\/strong> with a remainder of 1 foot<\/strong>. To express this as a mixed number<\/strong>, we write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ Converting between units of measurement, such as feet to yards, involves understanding how many of one unit fit into another. In this problem, we are given the width of a football field as 160 feet<\/strong> and are asked to convert that to yards<\/strong>, and to write the answer as a mixed number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key fact to remember is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are exactly 3 feet in 1 yard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This means every yard contains 3 feet, so to convert feet into yards, we divide the number of feet by 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s perform the division:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ That result tells us that there are 53 complete groups of 3 feet in 160 feet (which is 53 yards), and 1 foot is left over. Since the leftover foot is only a part of a yard, we express it as a fraction of a yard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One foot out of three feet is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ So, we write the total in mixed number form<\/strong> as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ A mixed number<\/strong> consists of a whole number and a proper fraction. In real-life applications, mixed numbers are often used for clarity\u2014especially when dealing with measurements in construction, sports, or tailoring\u2014where both whole units and partial units matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, 160 feet = 53 1\/3 yards<\/strong> is the correct and complete conversion in mixed number form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A football field is 160ft wide.
