Question

How many yards are in 23.9 cm?

Answer 1

`0.261yd`

Explanation:

Use dimensional analysis to convert units. Set up the calculation so that you start with the quantity you have, you go through conversion factors so that the units cancel out, and you are left with the quantity that you want.

Then put into your calculator `"product of all of the tops"/"product of all of the bottoms"` to get the answer.

`(23.9cancel"cm")((1cancel"in")/(2.54cancel"cm"))((1cancel"ft")/(12cancel"in"))((1"yd")/(3cancel"ft"))=0.261"yd"`
