To compare 18 inches with 1 yard, we need to convert the yard measurement into inches, because inches and yards are different units of length and can only be compared when they are in the same unit.
We know that:
1 yard = 36 inches
Now that we have the conversion factor, let's compare the two measurements:
18 inches is the first measurement.
1 yard converted into inches is 36 inches (because 1 yard = 36 inches).
Since 36 inches (1 yard) is greater than 18 inches, the answer is:
1 yard is more.
