The number of inches in any number of yards

Answer 1

Hi, Yvonne.

Okay, there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, you just need to multiply the number of yards by 36 to

get the equivalent length in inches.

For example:

1 yard = 36 inches

1 x 36 = 36 inches

2 yards = 72 inches

2 x 36 = 72 inches

So, the number of yards, n times 36 gives you the number of inches.

n x 36

Answer 2

Each Yard consists of 3 feet and each foot has 12 inches. Thus 1 yard has 3*12=36 inches.

Let I be the number of inches in Y yards, where Y can be any number.

Therefore I = 36*Y inches long.

Examples: 7 yards are equivalent to 36*7 = 252 inches.

If the length is 3 3/4 yards long, then I = 36*3.75 = 135 inches. Note that 3.75 is identical in size to 3 3/4.

Answer 3

36" per yard...therefore for n yards 36n inches
