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 3.5 feet into yards we have to multiply 3.5 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

3.5 ft → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 3.5 ft × 0.33333333333333 yd

L_(yd) = 1.1666666666667 yd

The final result is:

3.5 ft → 1.1666666666667 yd

We conclude that 3.5 feet is equivalent to 1.1666666666667 yards:

3.5 feet = 1.1666666666667 yards
