Correct Answer
C. 612

Explanation
There are 36 inches in a yard. To convert yards to inches, we multiply the number of yards by 36. Therefore, to find the number of inches in 17 yards, we multiply 17 by 36, which equals 612.

Rate this question:

Choose any that are equal to 9 feet.
- A.
  
  3 yards
- B.
  
  1/3 yards
- C.
  
  324 inches
- D.
  
  108 inches
Correct Answer(s)
A. 3 yards
D. 108 inches

Explanation
1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so 3 yards is equal to 9 feet.
1/3 yard is equal to 1 foot, which is not equal to 9 feet.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so 324 inches is equal to 27 feet, which is not equal to 9 feet.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so 108 inches is equal to 9 feet.

B. 1320 feet
D. 440 yards
G. 15840 inches

Explanation
The correct answer is 1320 feet, 440 yards, and 15840 inches. These values are equal to 1/4 miles. There are 5280 feet in a mile, so 1/4 of that is 1320 feet. Similarly, there are 1760 yards in a mile, so 1/4 of that is 440 yards. Lastly, there are 63360 inches in a mile, so 1/4 of that is 15840 inches.
