Sagot :

Answer:

17.9375 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us have a common unit

What we have here is the case of inches and ft

10 ft 3 inches

1 ft = 12 inches

so 3 inches is 3/12 = 0.25 ft

= 10+0.25 = 10.25 ft

15 ft 9 in

= 15 + 9/12 = 0.75 + 15 = 15.75 ft

So let us convert to yards ;

Mathematically, 3 ft = 1 yard

so 10.25 ft = 10.25/3 = 3.4167 yards

15.75 ft = 15.75/3 =5.25 yards

So the square yards would be the product of this two;

which is;

(10.25/3) * (15.75/3) = 17.9375 square yards
