Answer 1

The information tells you that:
1yd = 36 in.
You need to find 5yd, so you need to multiply 1yd by 5. We know that if you do something to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other. Therefore, we multiply 36 inches by 5 as well:
1yd = 36 in.
Multiply both sides by 5
5yd = 180 in.
Therefore, the answer is 180 in. 180 in. equals to 5 yards
