Answer:

180 inches

Explanation:

Convert 5 yards to feet. According to the information given, 1 yard = 3 feet. So now we have to multiply 5 yards by 3 feet which gives you 15 feet. Secondly, convert 15 feet to inches. It stated that 1 foot = 12 inches, so we have to do 15 feet multiplied by 12 inches to give you, 180 inches. So therefore, the length of the fabric is 180 inches.
