What Is the Equation to Convert Inches to Yards?

1 yard is equal to 36 inches:

1 yd = 36 in

The length measured in yards (abbreviated as yd) can be calculated by dividing the length measured in inches (abbreviated as in) by a factor of 36:

d_(yd) = d_(in) / 36

FACTS:

1) The inch (symbol: in) is a US customary and imperial unit of length.

2) A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length or distance in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.

Example

Imagine you are an electrician working on wiring a house. You need to determine the length of wire required to connect an electrical outlet to a switch located 36 inches away. To ensure safety and efficiency, you want to express this length in yards.

First, let’s convert inches to yards using the formula:

Length (in yards) = Length (in inches) / 36

So, for this case:

Length (in yards) = 36 inches / 36 = 1 yard

Therefore, you would need 1 yard of electrical wire to complete this wiring connection. This conversion helps ensure you have the right amount of wire for the job, minimizing waste and ensuring a precise fit.
