To convert inches to yards, we divide by 36 inches, since there are 36 inches in 1 yard. Thus, the object is moving at a speed of 6/36 = 1/6 yards every 4.5 days.
To convert days to years, we divide by 365 days, since there are 365 days in 1 year. Thus, the object is moving at a speed of (1/6) / (4.5/365) = (1/6) * (365/4.5) = 30.5555556 yards per year.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the speed is 30.6 yards per year.
An object is moving at a speed of 6 inches every 4.5 days. Express this speed in yards per year. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
