Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1: Feet/day= 3 feet/1 yard x 60 yards/ day. Multiply the numerators (3 x 60 = 180). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 180/1= 180 feet/day.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: Lbs/week= 26 lbs/1 year x 1 year/52 weeks. Multiply the numerators (26 x 1 = 26). Multiply the denominators (1 x 52 = 52). 26/52 = 0.5 years.
