![]() ![]() Now there’s still some left over, 11 inches, but now we have our answer. Now we divide 35 by 12 because we want to know how many feet can go into 35 inches, and it looks like 2. Now we want to find how many feet are leftover. Well, to find the yard we have to divide by 36 inches, that gives us 8 with the remainder of 35.ĭo you see how I did that? 1 yard is 36 inches, that goes into 323 8 times, and then we have that remainder of 35. Now for something a little bit trickier: simplify 323 inches into yards, feet, and inches. How many inches are in a yard? We only have to multiply 12 times 3, and we all know that ends up being 36. Ok, so great, 12, we know that that is what a foot is, and there are 3 feet in a yard. This is just a simple multiplication problem, so don’t get confused or scared by all the crazy words that we’re using-inches, feet, and yards- simply look at the numbers. If there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard, how many inches are in a yard? As you may know, 1 yard is made up of 3 feet. The yard has been used for 100s of years and became what we know today through cutting cloth in 1-yard lengths. Most people’s height is given in feet and then inches, so it’s really important that we understand what foot is.įinally, we arrive at the yard. A foot is made up of 12 inches, but it wasn’t always the standard, as even the ancient Greeks used a version of what we know as a foot. Next, we’re going to talk about the foot. For a long time, it was defined as a width of an average man’s thumb, but today we have a standard around the world, and that is what you see on rulers and tape measures. Since the 7th century, the inch has been a unit of measurement in England and then, much later, in the US. First, let’s start with a simple idea: the inch. Let’s take a look at a few examples to get started. Today we’re on lay a foundation to help you better understand inches, feet, and yards, and converting back and forth between those units. The more you deal with measurements of distance the more you realize they can kind of be confusing. Hi, and welcome this video lesson on inches, feet, and yards. ![]()
