To convert 242 yards into feet we have to multiply 242 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

242 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 242 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 726 ft

The final result is:

242 yd → 726 ft

We conclude that 242 yards is equivalent to 726 feet:

242 yards = 726 feet
