19.5 $/y^2 * 1 y^2/9ft^2 = (19.5/9)$/ft^2
13 ft * 22 ft = 286 ft^2
286 ft^2 * (19.5/9) $/ft^2 = 619.67dollars
13 ft * 22 ft = 286 ft^2
286 ft^2 * (19.5/9) $/ft^2 = 619.67dollars

approximate in head to see if reasonable
15 * 20 = 300 ft^2
about 10 ft^2 / yard^2 (nine is about ten)
so about 30 y^2
* 20 = 600 dollars
15 * 20 = 300 ft^2
about 10 ft^2 / yard^2 (nine is about ten)
so about 30 y^2
* 20 = 600 dollars

Okay I was dividing by 3 instead of 9. Got it now, thanks.

1 yd^2(3 ft/1yd)(3 ft/1 yd) = 9 ft^2/yd^2

always multiply by things that are the same top and bottom so the units come out (you are really always multiplying by one)
for example
3600 seconds is the same as 1 hour
so
3600 s/1 hr
is the same top and bottom
and
1 hr/3600 s
is the same top and bottom
same deal with 1 ft/12 in
or 12 in / 1 ft
or 1 mi / 5280 ft
or 5280 ft/ 1 mi
( if using landlubber miles )
or 16 oz /lb or 1 lb/16 oz
etc
