To convert 864 inches per day to yards per hour, we can go through the following steps:

  1. Convert inches to yards:

    • There are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore: \[ \text{Yards} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{36} = \frac{864 \text{ inches}}{36} = 24 \text{ yards} \]
  2. Convert days to hours:

    • There are 24 hours in a day.
  3. Calculate yards per hour:

    • Now we need to convert the total yards per day to yards per hour: \[ \text{Yards per hour} = \frac{\text{Yards per day}}{\text{Hours per day}} = \frac{24 \text{ yards}}{24 \text{ hours}} = 1 \text{ yard/hour} \]

Thus, the equivalent rate is: \[ 864 \text{ inches/day} = 1 \text{ yard/hour} \]
