This question can be simplified: If you only use one unit multiplier, then your
answer is simply 180 inches (36 inches in a yard, 5 yards). If you use two unit
multipliers, which takes more time, the process by which you get 180 inches is
as follows: 12 inches in a foot, times 3 feet in a yard (36 inches) times 5 yards
(180 inches).
===========================
But the question did specify the method of solution, which should remind us
that learning the method is more important than the answer to little problems
like this one.
A "unit multiplier" is a fraction with equal numerator and denominator, which is
therefore equal to ' 1 ', and you can multiply a measurement by it without changing
the value of the measurement.
Each of the fractions in the following procedure is equal to ' 1 ':
(5 yards) x ( 3 feet/yard ) x (12 inches/foot) = 180 inches
You cannot. Inches are a measure of distance whereas yards per hour is a measure of speed. The two measure different things and you cannot convert from one to the other without additional information.
1 yard = 36 inches. To convert inches to yards, divide inches by 36. To convert yards to inches, mutlipy yards by 36.
9.5 yards = 342 inches
To convert inches into yards, divide by 36. There are 36 inches in 1 yard, so if you have 36 inches and you wish to convert that to yards, you'll divide the number of inches (36) by 36, which is the conversion factor. And 36/36 = 1, so 36 inches = 1 yard.
To convert inches to yards, just divide by 36.
I would use 1/36 to convert inches to yards and 1/1760 to convert yards to miles.

25 yards is 900 inches (multiply yards by 36 to convert to inches).
5 yards = 180 inches FYI: Google "convert 5 yards to inches"
Ah, isn't that a lovely question? Well, let's see here. There are 36 inches in a yard, so if we take 76 inches and divide by 36, we find that it's just over 2 yards. Isn't that just a happy little calculation?
Divide by 36 to convert inches into yards = 171/36 yards
There are three feet in a yard, and 12 inches in a foot, so 1 yard = 3 feet = 3*12 inches = 36 inches.To convert yards to inches, multiply by 36. For example, to convert 2 yards to inches, multiply 2 by 36:2 yards = 2*36 inches 72 inches.
1 inches = 0.0277777778 yards84 inches = 2.33 yards
There are 36 inches to a yard. That works out to 8 yards.
