How many Inches equal one Yard?
Since a foot is defined as 1/3 of a yard, and an inch is defined as 1/12 of a foot, exactly 36 inches equal 1 yard. The international symbol for inches is "in", while for yards it is "yd", e.g. 5 in, 10 yd.
Difference between Inches and Yards
Both inches and yards are units for measuring distance between two points, but with significantly different magnitude. The yard is often used to measure the dimensions (width, length, depth, height) of large objects and for measuring all kinds of distances, for example the length of a football or baseball field. The inch, corresponding to a much smaller distance, is used primarily for small objects and tiny distances, usually up to several feet.
Both units are a part of the imperial system of units, but since 1959 both are defined in terms of their equivalent in meters. The inch is defined as 0.0254 meters while a yard is defined as 0.9144 meters (exactly 3 feet). Prior to that the actual length which the units measured depended primarily on the definition of the foot, which varied from place to place and also in time.
