Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 40: 5,000 × 40 ≈ 200,000 in, against the exact 180,000 in (11.1% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A yard is bigger than a inch, so the number of inches must come out larger than the number of yards. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
