To convert 174 yards per month to inches per year, follow these steps:
-
Convert yards to inches:
- There are 36 inches in a yard.
- Therefore, \( 174 \text{ yards} = 174 \times 36 \text{ inches} \).
\[ 174 \times 36 = 6264 \text{ inches} \]
-
Convert months to years:
- There are 12 months in a year.
- So, we need to multiply the inches per month by 12 to find the inches per year.
\[ 6264 \text{ inches/month} \times 12 \text{ months/year} = 75168 \text{ inches/year} \]
Thus, the equivalent rate is:
\[ \boxed{75168 \text{ inches/year}} \]
