Yards to Feet (yd to ft)
A yard is exactly 3 feet (0.9144 m since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, NIST SP 811), so multiply yards by 3. 2.5 yards of fabric is 7.5 feet.
Formula
feet = yards × 3
Example: 1 yards = 3 feet.

Good to know
Golf and football: a 150-yard approach is 450 ft, a 40-yard dash is 120 ft and a 300-yard drive is 900 ft. A mile is 1,760 yards or 5,280 ft.
Fractions of a yard: 1/4 yd = 9 in, 1/3 yd = 1 ft, 1/2 yd = 18 in, 3/4 yd = 27 in. Fabric counters cut to these marks.
Cubic yards: a cubic yard of concrete or mulch is 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic feet, not 3. One cubic yard covers 81 sq ft at 4 inches deep.
