Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to inches is 36, which means that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches:

1 yd = 36 in

To convert 0.5 yards into inches we have to multiply 0.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to inches. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 36 in

0.5 yd → L_(in)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in inches:

L_(in) = 0.5 yd × 36 in

L_(in) = 18 in

The final result is:

0.5 yd → 18 in

We conclude that 0.5 yards is equivalent to 18 inches:

0.5 yards = 18 inches

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 inch is equal to 0.055555555555556 × 0.5 yards.
