Abe needs 13.5 feet to make a bedspread. How many yards does he need?

4.5 is the answer because

first I took out the decimal which the new number is now 13

13:3=4R1 (I divided it by 3 because 1 yard=3 feet)

now the reminder is 1.5 which equals 18inches and 1 yard equals 36 inches

and now since 18 is 1/2 of 36

1/2 in decimal form is 0.5 or. 5

so now the answer is 4.5
