480 yards

Question

year
=

inches
month

Answer 1

To convert 480 yards to inches and find out how many inches this is per month, we can follow these steps:

1. Convert yards to inches:

   • There are 36 inches in a yard.
   • Therefore, $480\text{ yards}=480\times 36\text{ inches}$.

   $$480\text{ yards}=17280\text{ inches}$$

2. Determine the number of months in a year:

   • There are 12 months in a year.

3. Calculate the inches per month:

   • To find the inch rate per month, divide the total inches in a year by the number of months in a year:

   $$\text{Inches per month}=\frac{17280\text{ inches}}{12\text{ months}}=1440\text{ inches/month}$$

So, 480 yards is equivalent to 17280 inches per year, which translates to 1440 inches per month.
