how many square feet are needed to cover one square yard?
would it be 108 sq ft
also would .26 rounded to the nearest hundredth be .30
1 yard = 3 feet
1 square yard = 3 * 3 = 9 square feet
Yes, 0.26 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.30

To determine how many square feet are needed to cover one square yard, you need to know the conversion factor between square yards and square feet.
1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet. This is because a yard is a unit of length, and when we square it, we need to multiply the length by itself (1 yard * 1 yard = 1 square yard). Similarly, when we square a foot, we perform the same calculation: 1 foot * 1 foot = 1 square foot.
Therefore, to calculate how many square feet are needed to cover one square yard, we multiply 1 square yard by the conversion factor of 9 square feet.
1 square yard * 9 square feet/1 square yard = 9 square feet
So, one square yard requires 9 square feet to cover.
Regarding rounding .26 to the nearest hundredth, you are correct. When rounding a number to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place.
In this case, .26 has a digit in the thousandth place of 6, which is greater than or equal to 5. So, when rounding to the nearest hundredth, we round up the tenths place by increasing it by 1. Therefore, .26 rounded to the nearest hundredth would be .30.
