What number will the function return if the input is 12.2?

A. 36.6
B. 14.2
C. 15.2
D. 36.2

Answer :

To solve the problem of converting yards to feet, we use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

Given the input of 12.2 yards, we need to convert this to feet:

1. Identify the conversion factor: We know that 1 yard equals 3 feet.

2. Multiply the number of yards by the conversion factor:
[tex]\[
\text{Feet} = \text{Yards} \times 3
\][/tex]
So, for 12.2 yards:
[tex]\[
\text{Feet} = 12.2 \times 3
\][/tex]

3. Calculate the result:
[tex]\[
12.2 \times 3 = 36.6
\][/tex]

Therefore, 12.2 yards is equal to 36.6 feet. The correct answer is A. 36.6.
