Another Example!
Convert 6 yards to inches. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, and there are 3 feet in 1 yard.
12 × 3 = 36
There are 36 inches in 1 yard.
6 × 36 = 216 inches

Number Inches per
of yards yard
There are 216 inches in 6 yards.
You need to find how
many smaller units are in a
number of larger units. Then,
multiply the number of larger
units by the number of smaller
units in each larger unit.
