Question

In converting 9 yards to inches, what unit (omit the number) would you place in the numerator of your ratio? Remember that there are 36 inches in 1 yard

Answer 1

inches

Explanation:

The "to" unit goes in the numerator. (The "from" unit goes in the denominator.) Since we're converting to inches, the numerator of the conversion factor has units of inches.

_____

9 yd = 9 yd × (36 in)/(1 yd) = 324 in
