Solution
Solution Steps
To convert the distance traveled by the model car from yards to inches, we need to use the conversion factor between these units. There are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, we multiply the total distance in yards by 36 to get the distance in inches.
Step 1: Identify the Conversion Factor
To convert the distance from yards to inches, we need to know the conversion factor. There are 36 inches in 1 yard.
Step 2: Calculate the Distance in Inches
Given that the model car travels a total distance of 81 yards, we can calculate the distance in inches using the formula:
\[
\text{Distance in inches} = \text{Distance in yards} \times \text{Conversion factor}
\]
Substituting the known values:
\[
\text{Distance in inches} = 81 \times 36 = 2916
\]
Final Answer
The car travels a total distance of \(\boxed{2916}\) inches. The correct answer is the first option, 2,916 inches.
