Answer:

121 yards 9 inches

Explanation:

The length each chain = 13 yards 1 foot 5 inches

We have to multiply.

The total length of the 9 pieces of chain = (13 yards 1 foot 5 inches)*9

= 117 yards 9 feet 45 inches

Now let's convert the above measurement to larger units

1 yard = 36 inches

1 yard = 3 feet

Therefore, 45 inches = 1 yard 9 inches

9 feet = 3 yards

= 117 yards 9 feet 45 inches

= (117 + 3 + 1) yards 9 inches

= 121 yards 9 inches

Thank you.
