Solution

To convert inches to yards, we first need to convert inches to feet, and then convert feet to yards.

Step 1: Convert inches to feet According to the table, 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, we divide the total inches by 12 to get the measurement in feet. 108 inches ÷ 12 = 9 feet

Step 2: Convert feet to yards According to the table, 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. So, we divide the total feet by 3 to get the measurement in yards. 9 feet ÷ 3 = 3 yards

So, the snail moved 3 yards in a two-hour time period.
