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 42.5 yards into feet we have to multiply 42.5 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

42.5 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 42.5 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 127.5 ft

The final result is:

42.5 yd → 127.5 ft

We conclude that 42.5 yards is equivalent to 127.5 feet:

42.5 yards = 127.5 feet
