162 inches
13.5 feet
4.5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Every foot has 12 inches in it and every yard has 3 feet in it. If we multiply the 4 feet of rope by the 12 inches in each foot, you get 48 inches. Add those 48 inches to the original 42 inches and you get 90 inches. 2 yards of rope is equal to 6 feet because each yard is 3 feet and 2 times 3 is 6. 6 feet multiplied by the 12 inches in each foot is 72 inches. 90 inches plus 72 inches equals 162 inches, giving us our answer in inches. To find how many feet are in 162 inches, you can divide 162 by 12, giving you 13.5 feet. That gives us our answer in feet. To find how many yards are in 13.5 feet, you must divide 13.5 by 3, which will give us 4.5. This gives us our answer in yards.
