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 20 feet into yards we have to multiply 20 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

20 ft → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 20 ft × 0.33333333333333 yd

L_(yd) = 6.6666666666667 yd

The final result is:

20 ft → 6.6666666666667 yd

We conclude that 20 feet is equivalent to 6.6666666666667 yards:
