How many inches is there in 1/8th of a yard?

Answer 1

Levi Adams

There are #4 1/2# inches in #1/8# yard.

In #1# yard we have #3# feet and in each feet we have #12# inches.

So we have #3xx12=36# inches in each yard.

Hence in #1/8# yard, we have #36xx1/8=9cancel(36)xx1/(2cancel(8))=9/2=4 1/2# inches.

There are 9 inches in 1 yard. Therefore, to find 1/8th of a yard in inches, you would divide 9 by 8.

9 inches ÷ 8 = 1.125 inches

So, 1/8th of a yard is equal to 1.125 inches.
