Answer: 162 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's first convert 4.5 yards to feet.

Since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, we multiply 4.5 by 3 to get 13.5 feet.

To convert 13.5 feet into inches, first start with the

conversion factor for feet and inches which is below.

12 inches = 1 foot

Next, notice that we're going from a larger unit,

feet, to a smaller unit, inches.

Since we're going from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply.

So we multiply 13.5 by the conversion factor, 12, to get 162.

So 4.5 yards is equivalent to 162 inches.
