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 400 yards into feet we have to multiply 400 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

400 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 400 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 1200 ft

The final result is:

400 yd → 1200 ft

We conclude that 400 yards is equivalent to 1200 feet:

400 yards = 1200 feet

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot is equal to 0.00083333333333333 × 400 yards.

Another way is saying that 400 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00083333333333333 feet.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred yards is approximately one thousand two hundred feet:

400 yd ≅ 1200 ft

An alternative is also that one foot is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred yards.
