To convert yards to inches, you need to know the conversion factor: 1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Now, let’s break down the conversion for 1 and 1/3 yards.
First, convert the mixed number 1 and 1/3 into an improper fraction. 1 and 1/3 can be rewritten as (3/3 + 1/3) which equals 4/3 yards.
Next, multiply the number of yards by the number of inches in a yard:
4/3 yards × 36 inches/yard
This gives us:
(4 × 36) / 3 = 144 / 3 = 48 inches
So, there are a total of 48 inches in 1 and 1/3 yards.
