The question asks us how much yards of landfill space will save Mrs. William's family in a year. They recycle 12.6 pounds of plastic each month. And 1 pound of plastic saves 7.4 yards of landfill space: 12.6 * 7.4 = 93.24 yards monthly. And we have to multiply it by 12. 12 * 93.24 = 1.118.88. Answer: C. 1,118.88 yards.
