To convert 54 inches to yards, we need to understand the relationship between inches and yards. There are 36 inches in one yard. To find out how many yards are in 54 inches, we use this relationship:
1. Identify the number of inches to convert: 54 inches.
2. Recall the conversion factor: 1 yard = 36 inches.
3. Divide the number of inches by the number of inches in one yard:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of yards} = \frac{\text{Number of inches}}{\text{Number of inches per yard}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Number of yards} = \frac{54}{36} \][/tex]
4. Calculate the result:
[tex]\[ \frac{54}{36} = 1.5 \][/tex]
Therefore, 54 inches is equal to 1.5 yards.
So, the correct choice is:
1.5 yd
