Hi there! 3 feet = 1 yard, 12 inches = 1 foot and 36 inches = 1 yard. All we have to do is change them up into different units by doing a bit of multiplication, division, maybe mental math, and even proportions if you know how to do them. Regardless on what you do, if you do it correctly, here are what your answers should be for each unit.

Inches

Carol: 42 inches

Tino: 30 inches

Baxter: 54 inches

Feet:

Carol: 3.5 feet

Tino: 2.5 feet

Baxter: 4.5 feet

Yards:

Carol: 1 1/6 yards

Tino: 5/6 yards

Baxter: 1 1/2 yards
