12 inches =  1 foot
         3 feet   =  1 yard
        36 inches =  1 yard

  Question One: How many feet in nine yards?

      Since there are three feet in one yard, you just multiply
      the number of yards (9) by the number of feet per yard (3).

        9 x 3 = 27

  Question Two: How many inches in five feet?

     There are twelve inches in a foot. So, you just multiply the
     number of feet (5) by the number of inches per foot (12).

       5 x 12 = 60

  Question Three: How many inches in 3 yards?

     You know that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, all you
     have to do is multiply the number of yards (3) by the number of
     yards (3).

        3 x 36 = 108
