The conversion factor from feet to yards is 0.33333333333333, which means that 1 foot is equal to 0.33333333333333 yards:

1 ft = 0.33333333333333 yd

To convert 1 foot into yards we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 0.33333333333333 yd

1 ft → L_(yd)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in yards:

L_(yd) = 1 ft × 0.33333333333333 yd

L_(yd) = 0.33333333333333 yd

The final result is:

1 ft → 0.33333333333333 yd

We conclude that 1 foot is equivalent to 0.33333333333333 yards:

1 foot = 0.33333333333333 yards
