To find the equivalent measure from feet to yards, we divide the number of feet by the conversion factor of 3 feet per yard.
For the first question, we have to divide the number of feet (3) by the conversion factor (3 feet per yard).
3 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 1 yard
So, the answer is 1 yard.
For the second question, we have to divide the number of feet (45) by the conversion factor (3 feet per yard).
45 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 15 yards
So, the answer is 15 yards.
Therefore, 45 feet is equivalent to 15 yards.
