We have 6.75 yards, so first we will convert it into feet, applying a rule of three we have:


\begin{gathered} (1yard)/(3feet)=(6.75yards)/(?feet) \\ ?feet*1yard=6.75yards*3feet \\ ?feet=(6.75yards*3feet)/(1yard) \\ 6.75yards=20.25feet \end{gathered}

Now, we will convert it to inches:


\begin{gathered} (12inches)/(1food)=(?inches)/(20.25feet) \\ (12inches*20.25feet)/(1food)=?inches \\ so: \\ 20.25feet=243inches \end{gathered}

So the answer is that 6.75 yards are 243 inches.
