Questions: How many inches are in 3 1/2 yards?

Solution Steps

To convert yards to inches, we need to know the conversion factors: 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. First, convert the given yards to feet, and then convert the feet to inches.

Given: \[ \text{yards} = 3.5 \]

We know: \[ 1 \text{ yard} = 3 \text{ feet} \]

So, we convert yards to feet: \[ \text{feet} = 3.5 \times 3 = 10.5 \]

Given: \[ \text{feet} = 10.5 \]

We know: \[ 1 \text{ foot} = 12 \text{ inches} \]

So, we convert feet to inches: \[ \text{inches} = 10.5 \times 12 = 126.0 \]
