how do I work this problem step by step?

3yd5ft + 6yd2ft

This is how I worked the problem

3 yd 5ft
+6 yd 2ft

9yd 7ft

To work this problem step by step, you need to add the yards and the feet separately. Here's a breakdown of the steps:

Step 1: Add the yards:
- Add the 3 yards to the 6 yards: 3 + 6 = 9 yards.

Step 2: Add the feet:
- Add the 5 feet to the 2 feet: 5 + 2 = 7 feet.

Step 3: Combine the yards and feet:
- Write the final answer in the format of yards and feet: 9 yards 7 feet.

So, the solution to the problem is 9 yards 7 feet.

You're right as far as you went.

Now we need to change 7 feet to 2 1/3 yards.

3yd5ft + 6yd2ft = 11 yards, 1 foot = 11 1/3 yards
