Understanding Feet to Yards Conversion
Converting Feet to Yards
Since 3 feet equals 1 yard, to convert feet to yards, we need to divide the feet value by 3. This is a simple division operation that gives you the equivalent length in yards.
Converting Yards to Feet
One yard equals 3 feet. Hence, to convert yards into feet, we need to multiply the yards value by 3. This multiplication gives you the total length in feet.
Feet to Yards: yards = feet ÷ 3
Yards to Feet: feet = yards × 3
