how can i do this

I tried to do these the way the instructions say to do it...

(a)      $\frac{12\text{ in}}{1\text{ ft}}=\frac{x\text{ in}}{19\text{ ft}}\\~\\ \frac{12\text{ in}\cdot19\text{ ft}}{1\text{ ft}}=x\text{ in}\\~\\ 228\text{ in}=x\text{ in}$

So..    19 ft  =  228 in

(b)      $\frac{1\text{ yd}}{3\text{ ft}}=\frac{x\text{ yd}}{19\text{ ft}}\\~\\ \frac{1\text{ yd}\cdot19\text{ ft}}{3\text{ ft}}=x\text{ yd}\\~\\ \frac{19}{3}\text{ yd}=x\text{ yd}\\~\\ 6.3\text{ yd}\approx x\text{ yd}$

So..    19 ft  ≈  6.3 yd
