Remember the Imperial System of length.

12 inches = 1 foot

3 feet = 1 yard

22 yards = 1 chain

10 chain = 1 furlong

8 furlongs = 1 mile.

So we have 162 inches. Divide 162 by 12 , this will give us the number of feet. 13 feet 6 inches.

Divide 13 feet by 3 , this will give us the number of yards. 4 yards 1 feet

Overall it is 4yds , 1 ft, 6 inches.

However if we want this in yards. we need to convert 1ft 6ins to yards.

In 1 ft 6 inches there are 18 inches.

In 1 yard there 36 inches ( 3 x 12)

Hence we can now write it as 4 yds 18/36 yds.

18/36 as a fraction reduces to 1/2

Hence the answer in yards is 4 1/2 yds . or 4.5 yds.
