If you mean like 5ft and 6in (in ex.) it's because 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, and it gives a more precise measurement. If you mean something is 2ft and then they put 24in, it makes it easier for conversion to the metric system.

Is 3 yard's feet Y inches 8 feet or 100 inches are the greatest?

To compare the two measurements, we need to convert them to the same unit. Three yards is equal to 9 feet (since 1 yard = 3 feet). Therefore, 3 yards is 9 feet, which is 108 inches (as 1 foot = 12 inches). Since 100 inches is less than 108 inches, 3 yards (or 108 inches) is greater than 100 inches.

54 feet minus 3 yards plus 24 inches equals how many feet?

To solve this problem, we first need to convert all the measurements to the same unit. 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so 3 yards is 3 x 3 = 9 feet. 24 inches is equal to 2 feet, so 24 inches is 24/12 = 2 feet. Now we can add and subtract the measurements: 54 feet - 9 feet + 2 feet = 47 feet. Therefore, 54 feet minus 3 yards plus 24 inches equals 47 feet.
