To match the lengths with their equivalent values, we need to convert all the measurements into the same unit. Let's convert everything to inches first:

  1. Yards to Inches: 1 yard = 36 inches

    • 3 yards = 3 × 36 inches = 108 inches
    • 2 yards 5 inches = (2 × 36) + 5 inches = 72 + 5 = 77 inches
    • q yard = q × 36 inches
    • 9 feet = 9 × 12 inches = 108 inches
  2. Feet to Inches: 1 foot = 12 inches

    • 2 feet 8 inches = (2 × 12) + 8 = 24 + 8 = 32 inches

Now we can list the measurements in inches and find their equivalents:

  • 3 yards = 108 inches
  • 77 inches = 77 inches
  • 48 inches = 48 inches
  • 32 inches = 32 inches
  • 2 yards 5 inches = 77 inches
  • 2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches
  • q yard q foot = (36q + 12q) inches = (48q) inches
  • 9 feet = 108 inches

Now we can match them one-to-one:

  1. 3 yards = 9 feet
  2. 77 inches = 2 yards 5 inches
  3. 48 inches = (No equivalent provided)
  4. 32 inches = 2 feet 8 inches
  5. 2 yards 5 inches = 77 inches
  6. 2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches
  7. q yard q foot = 48q inches (requires specific values for equivalence)
  8. 9 feet = 3 yards

So the matched pairs are:

  • 3 yards9 feet
  • 77 inches2 yards 5 inches
  • 32 inches2 feet 8 inches

Note: 48 inches remains unmatched unless additional values for 'q' are provided to make a complete match. If q is specified, we can also match it accordingly.
