How to Convert Yards to Inches
Example: How many inches are equivalent to 29.99 yards?
As;
1 yards = 36 inches
29.99 yards = Y inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 29.99 times 36 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 29.99 * 36 / 1 = 1079.64 inches
Answer is: 1079.64 inches are equivalent to 29.99 yards.
