Hi,
Length times width = area.
Make sure to multiply the units as well
(1.2)yards * (0.5)yards = 0.6 (yards * yards) = 0.6 yards^2
so there are 0.6 square yards.
Hope that helps,
Matt

Multiply 1.2 yards by 0.5 yards to get 0.6 yards^2.
0.6 square yards.

This is a question about AREA. Area is a formula represented by Length x's Width (when working with Squares and rectangles)
So in this question L x W = A
. . . . . . . 1.2 x 0.5 = 0.6 sq. yards
good luck with your next area question

Let the area of the yard be x sq. yards
Hence,
X = 1.2*0.5
x = 0.6 sq. yards

1.2 yards * 0.5 yards = (1.2*0.5) square yards = 0.6 square yards

060 when multiplying you count the amount ot numbers to the right of the decimal points. 1.2----->1. 0.5---->1. add together is 2. 2 numbers to the right of decimal points. after multyplying the numbers move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. 060 becomes 0.60 or 0.6.
0.6 sq yds.
