    25.65 square yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The area is 85.5 yd^2

    He rents 3/10ths

    Multiply the area by the fractional part he rents

    85.5 * 3/10

    256.5/10

    25.65 yd^2

    To find the area the family rents, multiply the total area by the portion the family rents:

    85.5 x 3/10

    When multiplying with fractions, multiply the whole number by the numerator (top number in the fraction) then divide that total by the denominator (bottom number of a fraction)

    85.5 x 3 = 256.5

    256.5 / 10 = 25.65

    The family rents 25.65 square yards.
