A shelf measures 0.45 feet long. How long does the shelf measure in inches and in yards? Enter your answers as decimals in the boxes. \( 0.45 \mathrm{ft}=\square \mathrm{in} \). \( 0.45 \mathrm{ft}=\square \mathrm{yd} \)

To convert feet to inches, you multiply by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot. So for your shelf, \( 0.45 \, \text{ft} \times 12 = 5.4 \, \text{in} \). To convert feet to yards, you divide by 3, as there are 3 feet in a yard. Therefore, \( 0.45 \, \text{ft} \div 3 = 0.15 \, \text{yd} \). Thus, \( 0.45 \mathrm{ft}=5.4 \mathrm{in} \). \( 0.45 \mathrm{ft}=0.15 \mathrm{yd} \).
