How many inches are in 5 1/2 yards

Answer 1

How many inches are in 5
`(1)/(2) yards?`
There are 3 feet in a yard
There are 12 inches in a foot

`5 (1)/(2) = (11)/(2)`
You must multiply
`(11)/(2)` yards by feet

`(11)/(2)`×
`(3)/(1)`=
`(33)/(2)`
You must multiply
`(33)/(2)` by inches per foot

`(33)/(2)`×
`(12)/(1)`=
`(396)/(2)`
You must divide the numerator(top) by the denominator(bottom) to simplify
396÷2=198
There are 198 inches in
`5 (1)/(2) yards`
