To solve these problems, we need to use the conversion rules given at the top of the worksheet:
*
1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)
*
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
From these two rules, we can also figure out how many inches are in a yard:
* Since 1 yard is 3 feet, and each foot is 12 inches, then $3 \times 12 = 36$. So,
1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in).
Here is the step-by-step solution for each problem:
Converting Inches to Yards (divide by 36)
1. $36 \text{ in} \div 36 = 1 \text{ yd}$
9. $4 \text{ yd}$ is already in yards, but looking at the pattern, let's re-read carefully. Ah, number 9 asks to convert
4 yd to
ft. Let's stick to the specific units asked in each line.
Let's go through them one by one based on the arrows or equal signs implied.
