To convert from square inches to square yards, you first need to remember that 1 square yard equals 1296 square inches (since 1 yard = 36 inches, and 1 square yard = 36 inches x 36 inches). Now, to find the area of the bathroom window in square yards, simply divide the area in square inches by the conversion factor: 1960 square inches ÷ 1296 square inches/square yard ≈ 1.51 square yards. Rounding this to one decimal place gives Isaac an area of approximately 1.5 square yards. Since privacy film is sold in whole square yard increments, Isaac should purchase 2 square yards to ensure complete coverage of the window. This gives him a little extra just in case!
