Answer:
12 yd, 2 ft, 10 in
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
1 yard is -------> 36 in
1 yard is -------> 3 ft
1 ft is ---------> 12 in
we have
when the work started
26 yards, 2 feet, 5 inches convert to inches
26*36+2*12+5=965 in
when the job was finished
13 yards, 2 feet, 7 inches convert to inches
13*36+2*12+7=499 in
Find the difference
965-499=466 in
a) convert to yards
466/36=12.9444 yd
12 yards is-------------> 12*36=432 in
so
466 in=12 yd +(466 in-432 in)
466 in=12 yd +34 in
b) convert 34 in to feet
34/12=2.832 ft is--------> 2*12=24 in
34 in=2 ft+(34 in-24 in)
34 in=2 ft+10 in
therefore
466 in=12 yd +2 ft +10 in
