Conversion formula

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 240 feet into yards we have to multiply 240 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

240 ft → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 240 ft × 0.33333333333333 yd

L_(yd) = 80 yd

The final result is:

240 ft → 80 yd

We conclude that 240 feet is equivalent to 80 yards:

240 feet = 80 yards

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 yard is equal to 0.0125 × 240 feet.
