wouldn't it be 36feet x 44 feet? Now convert those to yards.
are you sure
why would it be 36feet x 44 feet? i am confused.
I get the same measurements as bobpursley. I don't think it's necessary to change feet to yards.
0.5/1 = 18/x
0.5x = 18
x = 18/0.5
x = 36 feet
0.5/1 = 18/x
0.5x = 18
x = 18/0.5
x = 36 feet
Another way to approach this problem --
1/2" = 1 foot
1" = 2 feet
2" = 4 feet
etc.
1/2" = 1 foot
1" = 2 feet
2" = 4 feet
etc.
The obvious solution would be to "go metric" and avoid confusion of a garden yard with a linear measurement yard, lol
Amen, Reiny!
