Five yards are 180 inches.

Explanation:

Use dimensional analysis.

"1 yd"="36 in"

There are two conversion factors:

"1 yd"/"36 in" and "36 in"/"1 yd"

Multiply "5 yards" by the conversion factor the cancels yards and keeps inches.

5color(red)cancel(color(black)("yd"))xx("36 in")/(1color(red)cancel(color(black)("yd")))="180 in"
