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"#
