A text font fits 12 characters per inch. Using the same font, how many characters can be expected per yard of text?

A.) 36 characters

B.) 144 characters

C.) 360 characters

D.) 432 characters

We already know that

1 yard = 36 inch

It is already given in the question that

number of characters that fit in 1 inch = 12

Then

Number of characters that fit in 36 inch = 12 * 36

= 432

So from the above deduction, we can conclude that 432 characters can be expected to fit per yard. The correct option is option "D".
