To find the number of inches in 2 and 1/2 yards, we first need to understand the relationship between yards and inches. One yard equals 36 inches.
Now, to convert 2 and 1/2 yards to inches, we can break it down as follows:
First, convert 2 yards to inches:
2 yards × 36 inches/yards = 72 inches
Next, convert 1/2 yard to inches:
1/2 yard × 36 inches/yards = 18 inches
Now, add these two results together:
72 inches + 18 inches = 90 inches
So, there are 90 inches in 2 and 1/2 yards.
