Question

How many feet are in 84 yards. (im really bad at converting) :(

Answer 1

1 yard = 3 feet, so we would do 3×84, which is 252.

There are 252 feet in 84 yards.

Answer 2

Do I have a trick for you then!

First, you will need a knowledge of fractions. I'm sure you do.

Now, search up how many feet are in a single yard. I Googled it and I got 1 yard = 3 feet.

Now let's make a fraction out of that. 1 yard / 3 feet.

You can do 3 feet / 1 yard if you want to. They are both equal to each other.

Now we need to convert the 84 yards into a fraction.

Simply make the 84 yards over 1. 84 yards / 1.

Now we need to multiply these two fractions in a way that will cancel out the yards unit and leave us with only the feet units.

84 yards/1 * 3 feet/1 yard

The reason why I switched from using 1 yard/3 feet to 3 feet/1 yard is because in that setup the yards unit would cancel and leave us only with the feet units.

84 yards / 1 * 3 feet / 1 yard = 252 feet
