Answer 1

Hint: Here, this question belongs to conversion topic that is we have to convert the unit from one form to other here we have to convert the unit yard and feet to the unit inches as we know that the value of l yard is equal to 3 feet and 1 feet is equal to 12 inches. So we use multiplication operations and find the solution.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The yard, feet and inches are the units to measure the length quantities.
 Length is the measurement of the distance between two points, two things or two places. To measure length, a unit of measurement is used. There are two different systems for measuring: customary and metric. This concept is about Customary Units of measurement.
The most common customary units of measurement are the inch, the feet, the yard and the mile
Here, first we have to convert the unit from the yard and feet to the inches.
Each yard has 3 feet
To convert 12 yard into inches, we multiply the 12 into 3.
On multiplying we get.
 \[12 \times 3 = 36\] feet
Already in the given question they mentioned 3 feet, then the total sum of unit of feet is
 \[36 + 3 = 39\] feet
Then, each feet is 12 inches
To convert 39 feets into inches, we multiply the 39 into 12.
 \[39 \times 12 = 468\] inches
Already in the given question they mentioned 8 inches, then the total sum of unit of inches is
 \[468 + 8 = 476\] inches.
Hence the 12 yards 3 feet and 8 inches is equal to 476 inches.
So, the correct answer is “476 inches”.

Note: We have different units for solid quantity, liquid quantity and gaseous quantity. Every quantity has a measurement unit from the low quantity to the high quantity. While converting the unit of a quantity from one form to another form we have standard value. By multiplying or dividing we can convert the unit of the quantity. We have a different system of measurement of a quantity.
