There are three feet in a yard.

 

The area of the carpet is 72ft^2 \times \frac{yd^2}{3ft^2} = 24 yd^2

 

So the answer is 24 square yards.

    12 ft       1 yd   

    ––––  x  –––––  =  4 yd    

       1          3 ft    

 

     6 ft        1 yd   

    ––––  x  –––––  =  2 yd    

       1          3 ft    

 

       4 yd  x  2 yd  =  8 yd2
