Question

An alligator is 2.3 yards long what is the length of the alligator in inches

Answer 1

The length of the alligator is 82.8 inches

Further explanation

An alligator is 2.3 yards, convert this to inches

We know that:

$\boxed {1 yard = 36 inches\ }$

or we can write them in fraction:

$\boxed {\frac{1 yard}{36 inches} = \frac{2.3 yards}{x}\ }\\ \boxed {x = 2.3 \times\ 36\ }\\ \boxed {x = 82.8\ }$

When converting unit, we can use this three step:

• write the conversion in fraction
• multiply
• cancel any unit that are both top and bottom

Here are another units of length:

$\boxed {1 inch = 2.54cm\ }\\ \boxed {1 foot = 12 inches\ }\\ \boxed {1 yard = 3 feet\ }\\ \boxed {1 yard = 90 cm\ }$
