Answer:

144

Explanation:

All you would need to know is that there is 36 inches in one yard and then you would just multiply the 36 by four to make the four yards total

Answer:

144

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 4 yards into feet

1 yard = 3 feet

4 * 3 = 12 feet

Step 2: Convert 12 feet into inches

1 foot = 12 inches

12 * 12 = 144 inches

Answer: Bobby can cut 144 1-inch strips.
