Answer:
32/33
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find out how many square yards are vacuumed every one minute.
Let's set up a chart:
yards minutes
8/11 --> 3/4
y --> 1
Here, y is the number of yards it takes to vacuum in one minute. Next, we can use cross-multiplication to find out y.
1. Multiply 1 by 8/11 to get... 8/11
2. Multiply 3/4 by y to get... 3/4y
3. Equate them: 8/11 = 3/4y
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 3/4 OR multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3 to isolate y, the variable
5. This gives us 32/33 = y
