Best Answer

Convert them to the same units then you can compare the two.

1 yd = 36 in

→ 72 yd = 72 × 36 in = 2,592 in

or

36 in = 1 yd

→ 860 in = 860 ÷ 36 yd = 23 8/9 yd ≈ 23.89 yd

Either way it is clear that 72 yards and 860 inches are not the same (72 yards is about 3 times bigger), so it is FALSE that 72 yards equals 860 inches.

False. 72 yards is equal to 2,160 inches because 1 yard is equal to 36 inches.

Why not do the conversion, and compare. Remember that 1 yard = 3 feet, and 1 foot = 12 inches, so 1 yard has exactly 36 inches.
