Question

Dwayne bought 5 yards of wrapping paper. How many inches of wrapping paper is this?

Answer 1

For this case we must convert from yards to inches. By definition we have to:

1 yard equals 36 inches

Making a rule of three we have:

1 yd ----------> 36 in

5 yd ----------> x

Where "x" represents the number of inches equivalent to 5 yards.

`x = \frac {5 * 36} {1} = 180`

Thus, 5 yards represents 180 inches.

Answer:

180 inch
