Jan buys 5 yards of blue fabric then she buys 2 feet of red fabric and 4 feet of green fabric how many inches does she buy altogether

Answer 1

(5 x 36) + (2 x 12) + (4 x 12) =

180 + 24 + 48 = 252 inches

Answer 2

IF we look at the conversion five yards of blue fabric is equivalent to 15 feet ( 1 yard equals 3 feet). Add this to the 2 feet of red fabric and 4 feet of green fabric and you have a total of 21 feet of fabric. Since there are 12 inches in a foot and we have 21 feet, we multiply 21 feet by 12 inches and we get 252 inches! That is 252 inches of fabric!
