Answer 1

Answer: 312.1 yd

Let us first convert inches into feet and then feet to yards to convert inches to yards.

`11234.45in*(1ft)/(12in)`

*Cancel the inches sign and that will leave us with ft

`11234.45*(1ft)/(12)=(11234.45)/(12)ft=936.2ft`

Then, we will convert it to yards

`936.2ft*(1yd)/(3ft)`

*Cancel feet sign and that will leave us with yd

`936.2*(1yd)/(3)=(936.2)/(3)yd=312.1yd`

Therefore, 11,234.45 inches is equal to 312.1 yards.
