Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 3: 4 × 3 ≈ 12 ft, against the exact 12 ft (0.0% 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 foot, so the number of feet must come out larger than the number of yards. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
