Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to feet is 3, which means that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet:

1 yd = 3 ft

To convert 1700 yards into feet we have to multiply 1700 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to feet. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 3 ft

1700 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 1700 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 5100 ft

The final result is:

1700 yd → 5100 ft

We conclude that 1700 yards is equivalent to 5100 feet:

1700 yards = 5100 feet

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot is equal to 0.00019607843137255 × 1700 yards.
