Problem
A monument is 36 feet ( $\mathrm{ft}$ ) tall. How many inches (in) is this? First fill in the blank on the left side of the equation using one of the ratios. Then write your answer on the right side of the equation. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multirow{3}{*}{ Ratios: } & 36 in & $1 \mathrm{yd}$ & $1 \mathrm{mi}$ & $1760 \mathrm{yd}$ & $12 \mathrm{in}$ & $1 \mathrm{ft}$ \\ \hline & $1 \mathrm{yd}$ & 36 in & $1760 \mathrm{yd}$ & $1 \mathrm{mi}$ & $1 \mathrm{ft}$ & 12 in \\ \hline & $\frac{36 \mathrm{ft}}{1}$ & $x$ & $\square$ & $=$ & 】 in & \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Solution
Step 1 ：Given that the height of the monument is 36 feet.
Step 2 ：We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
Step 3 ：Therefore, to find out how many inches 36 feet is, we need to multiply 36 by 12.
Step 4 ：So, \(36 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches per foot} = 432 \text{ inches}\).
Step 5 ：Final Answer: The monument is \(\boxed{432}\) inches tall.
