See a solution process below:

We know the conversion factor of yards to inches is:

$1 yard = 36 inches$ $1" yard" = 36" inches"$

To find how many inches in $\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ yard we can multiply each side of the equation by $\frac{1}{4}$ $color(red)(1/4)$ giving:

$\frac{1}{4} \times 1 yard = \frac{1}{4} \times 36 inches$ $color(red)(1/4) xx 1" yard" = color(red)(1/4) xx 36" inches"$

$\frac{1}{4} yard = \frac{36}{4} inches$ $1/4" yard" = 36/4" inches"$

$\frac{1}{4} yard = 9 inches$ $1/4" yard" = 9" inches"$

Therefore, there are 9 inches in $\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ yard
