0.261yd0.261yd

Explanation:

Use dimensional analysis to convert units. Set up the calculation so that you start with the quantity you have, you go through conversion factors so that the units cancel out, and you are left with the quantity that you want.

Then put into your calculator "product of all of the tops"/"product of all of the bottoms"product of all of the topsproduct of all of the bottoms to get the answer.

(23.9cancel"cm")((1cancel"in")/(2.54cancel"cm"))((1cancel"ft")/(12cancel"in"))((1"yd")/(3cancel"ft"))=0.261"yd"
