Answer:

2.25 feet, 45 inches, and 6 yards

Explanation:

first, convert all to the same unit of measurement

I will use inches

45 inches = 45 inches

6 yards, 1 yard = 3 feet so 6 yards are equal to 18 feet and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches so 12*18 is 216 inches so 6 yards = 216 inches

Next 1 foot equals 12 inches so 2.25 * 12 = 27 so 2.25 feet = 27 inches.

Now let's look at the complete conversion

45 inches

6 yards = 216 inches

2.25 feet = 27 inches

looking at the inches we can see that 27 is the least then 45 then 216 therefore

2.25 feet < 45 inches < 6 yards so the order is

2.25 feet, 45 inches, and 6 yards
