How to Convert Feet to Yards
Example: How many yards are equivalent to 71.72 feet?
As;
1 feet = 0.333333 yards
71.72 feet = Y yards
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 71.72 times 0.333333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 71.72 * 0.333333 / 1 = 23.90664276 yards
Answer is: 23.90664276 yards are equivalent to 71.72 feet.
