To determine

To fill: The blank in the statement “ $11\text{yd}\approx \boxed{}\text{ m}$ ”.

Answer to Problem 3CGP

The complete statement is $11\text{yd}\approx \boxed{10}\text{ m}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The statement “ $11\text{yd}\approx \boxed{}\text{ m}$ .”

Consider the provided statement “ $11\text{yd}\approx \boxed{}\text{ m}$ .”

Recall that the conversion rule that 1 yard is $0.914$ grams.

So, 11 yards is evaluated as when 11 is multiplied by $0.914$ .

Therefore, 11 yards is,

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{1yd=0}\text{.914m}\\ \text{11yd=}\left(\text{11×0}\text{.914}\right)\text{m}\\ \text{11yd=10}\text{.0584m}\\ \text{11yd}\approx \text{10m}\end{array}$

Thus, the complete statement is “ $11\text{yd}\approx \boxed{10}\text{ m}$ .”
