Yes, he is correct, because if in one yard is 36 inches, and half a yard is 18 inches, if you multiply 36 by 5, you get 180. Then add the half yard of 18 to have 5.5 yards, or 198 inches. :)

Answer: yes, he is correct

Explanation:

since there is 36 inches in 1 yard, we will multiply 5.5 by 36 to find out how many inches are in 5.5 yards. since 5.5 yardsx36 inches in one yard=198 inches, Jorge is correct.
