Good to know
Fabric and rope are sold by the yard. A 10 ft length of fabric is 3 1/3 yards; most stores cut in 1/8-yard steps, so round up to 3 3/8 yd.
Area and volume are not ÷3: square feet ÷ 9 = square yards (carpet, sod), and cubic feet ÷ 27 = cubic yards (concrete, mulch, gravel). A 12 × 15 ft room is 180 sq ft = 20 sq yd.
Sports: a football field is 100 yards (300 ft) between the goal lines, and a first down is 10 yards (30 ft).
