#"is better to convert yards to feet or inches"#

#• " 1 yard "=3" feet"#

#rArr8" yards "=8xx3=24" feet"#

#rArr(24" feet")/3=8" feet"#

#• " 1 foot "=12" inches"#

#rArr 24" feet "=24xx12=288" inches"#

#rArr(288" inches")/3=96" inches"#

#"each piece "=2 2/3" yards "=8" feet "=96" inches"#

#"If the ribbon is cut along it's length then"#

#"each piece "=8" yards in length"#
