How to convert 302 inches to yards

Answer 1

To convert inches to yards, you must convert inches to feet first. So we know that there are 12 inches in 1 foot. This means you can divide 302 by 12 to get 25 feet and 2 inches. (If you use a calculator you get 25.16666 repeating, but since you know that 1/6 = 0.166666, you can tell that 2/12 = 1/6.) Then since you know that there are 3 feet in a yard, you can divide 25 feet by 3 and get 8 yards, 1 foot, and 2 inches, but since this isn't fully in yards, now you can use fractions to make it fully in yards. So we know 1 foot is 1/3 of a yard, as 3 feet is 1 yard. Therefore we have 8 1/3 yards and 2 inches. So we know that 2 inches is 1/6 of one foot, which means it is 1/18 of a yard. Now we add 1/3 and 1/18 to get 7/18. So your answer would be 8 7/18 yards. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have any questions regarding my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.
