Answer 1

Answer: 312.1 yd

Let us first convert inches into feet and then feet to yards to convert inches to yards.

$11234.45in\times\frac{1ft}{12in}$

*Cancel the inches sign and that will leave us with ft

$11234.45\times\frac{1ft}{12}=\frac{11234.45}{12}ft=936.2ft$

Then, we will convert it to yards

$936.2ft\times\frac{1yd}{3ft}$

*Cancel feet sign and that will leave us with yd

$936.2\times\frac{1yd}{3}=\frac{936.2}{3}yd=312.1yd$

Therefore, 11,234.45 inches is equal to 312.1 yards.
