Answer:

0.8 yards or 28.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

I always turn fractions into decimals because it is easier to figure it out and simpler.

So 1/5 would be 2/10 because you multiply the whole thing by 2 to make the denominator 10 so you can turn it into a decimal.

So the decimal is 0.2

You would divide 7.2 by 9 to get 0.8 yards which is 28.8 inches.
