How many inches are in 5\(\frac{1}{2} yards?\)
There are 3 feet in a yard
There are 12 inches in a foot
\(5 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}\)
You must multiply \(\frac{11}{2}\) yards by feet
\(\frac{11}{2}\)×\(\frac{3}{1}\)=\(\frac{33}{2}\)
You must multiply \(\frac{33}{2}\) by inches per foot
\(\frac{33}{2}\)×\(\frac{12}{1}\)=\(\frac{396}{2}\)
You must divide the numerator(top) by the denominator(bottom) to simplify
396÷2=198
There are 198 inches in \(5 \frac{1}{2} yards\)
