A fashion photographer was photographing a fashion show on Saturday night. The fashion show runway was 18 yards long. A runway model walked down the runway and back. How many inches did the runway model walk on the runway?

Note: There are 12 inches in one foot and 3 feet in one yard.

Answer :

The total distance walked by the model is 1296 inches.

To solve this question, we need to convert the length of the runway from yards to inches. Here are the steps:

  • First, understand that 1 yard (yd) is equal to 3 feet (ft).
  • Second, know that 1 foot (ft) is equal to 12 inches (in).

Convert the runway length from yards to feet:

  • The runway length is 18 yards. Since 1 yard = 3 feet:
  • 18 yards × 3 feet/yard = 54 feet

Now, convert the length in feet to inches:

  • Since 1 foot = 12 inches:
  • 54 feet × 12 inches/foot = 648 inches

The model walks down the runway and back, so we need to double this distance:

  • 648 inches × 2 = 1296 inches

Therefore, the runway model walked a total of 1296 inches on the runway.
