To find the total length of string that Doreen has left, we need to convert the yards and feet to a consistent unit, such as feet.
First, let's convert the given 15 yards to feet. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, 15 yards is equal to 15 * 3 = 45 feet.
Next, let's convert the given 11 feet of string to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, 11 feet is equal to 11 / 3 = 3.67 (rounded to 2 decimal places) yards.
Now, we can subtract the length of string used from the total length of string Doreen had initially.
Total length of string left = Total length of string Doreen had - Length of string used
= 45 feet - 3.67 yards
To subtract these values, we need to convert them to a common unit. Since we have already converted yards to feet, we can keep everything in feet.
Total length of string left = 45 feet - 3.67 * 3 feet
= 45 - 11.01 feet
= 33.99 (rounded to 2 decimal places) feet
Now, let's convert this back to yards and feet.
Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, 33.99 feet is equal to 33.99 / 3 = 11.33 (rounded to 2 decimal places) yards.
Therefore, Doreen has approximately 11 yards and 1 foot of string left.
The correct answer is option 2) 11 yd 1 ft.
