Feet to yards table

Converting the other way: yards to feet

feet = yards × 3. So 2 yards is back to 6 feet; one yard is 3 feet. See the yards to feet table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.3: 6 × 0.3 ≈ 1.8 yd, against the exact 2 yd (10.0% 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 foot is smaller than a yard, so the number of yards must come out smaller than the number of feet. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
