To convert 480 yards into feet we have to multiply 480 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

480 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 480 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 1440 ft

The final result is:

480 yd → 1440 ft

We conclude that 480 yards is equivalent to 1440 feet:

480 yards = 1440 feet
