We can use the proportion provided in the table to find the missing value in feet that corresponds to 15 yards.
From the table, we know that:
5 yards = 15 feet
We can set up a proportion to find the value using the conversion factor given:
\[ \frac{5 \text{ yards}}{15 \text{ feet}} = \frac{15 \text{ yards}}{x \text{ feet}} \]
Where \(x\) is the missing value in feet.
To solve for \(x\), we can cross-multiply:
\[ 5 \text{ yards} \cdot x \text{ feet} = 15 \text{ yards} \cdot 15 \text{ feet} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 5x = 225 \]
Now, divide both sides by 5:
\[ x = \frac{225}{5} = 45 \]
Thus, 15 yards is equal to 45 feet.
So, the completed conversion for the table is:
- 15 yards = 45 feet
The missing value in the table for feet corresponding to 15 yards is 45.
