Why: Quarts are used to find capacity. Pounds are used to find weight. Inches are used to find length of small objects. Yards are used to find length of larger objects. So, the answer is yards.
So 8w=4c and 2c=3g. divide the first equation by 2 and you get 4w=2c. merge the two equation give you 4w=2c=3g, or 4w=3g. multiply 4 on both sides give you 16w=12g. So 16 widgets equal how 12 goof-ups?
