Answer:
5.96 square yards of flooring are needed
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
1 yard = 3 feet
1 yard = 36 inch
A room is 5 ft. 6 in by 9 ft. 9 in wide.
Length = 5 ft 6 in [tex]=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{6}{36}=\frac{11}{6}yard[/tex]
Width = 9 ft 9 in [tex]=\frac{9}{3}+\frac{9}{36}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}yard[/tex]
Area = Length x Width [tex]=\frac{11}{6}\times \frac{13}{4}=5.96yard^2[/tex]
