Answer 1

To convert inches to yards, feet, and inches, divide the total inches by 36 for yards, then use the remainder for feet (divide by 12), and use any remaining inches as is. Example calculations show the conversions for various measurements such as 195 inches, 0.2 miles, 88 feet, and others.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert total inches to yards, feet, and inches, you first need to know the equivalent measurements. One yard is equal to 36 inches, and one foot is equal to 12 inches. Here's how you can convert inches to yards, feet, and inches:

1. Divide the total number of inches by 36 to find out how many whole yards there are.
2. Multiply the number of whole yards by 36 and subtract from the original number of inches to find out how many inches are left.
3. Divide the remaining number of inches by 12 to find out how many whole feet are present.
4. Multiply the number of whole feet by 12 and subtract from the remaining inches to get the number of inches left.

For the examples given:

1. 195 inches: ÷ 36 = 5 yards and 15 inches
2. 0.2 miles: Since 1 mile is 1760 yards, 0.2 miles = 352 yards
3. 88 feet: ÷ 3 (since 1 yard = 3 feet) = 29.333, so it's 29 yards and 1 foot
4. 90 feet: ÷ 3 = 30 yards
5. 900 feet: ÷ 3 = 300 yards
