To convert 480 yards to inches and find out how many inches this is per month, we can follow these steps:
-
Convert yards to inches:
- There are 36 inches in a yard.
- Therefore, \( 480 \text{ yards} = 480 \times 36 \text{ inches} \).
\[ 480 \text{ yards} = 17280 \text{ inches} \]
-
Determine the number of months in a year:
- There are 12 months in a year.
-
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.
