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 5000 yards into feet we have to multiply 5000 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

5000 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 5000 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 15000 ft

The final result is:

5000 yd → 15000 ft

We conclude that 5000 yards is equivalent to 15000 feet:

5000 yards = 15000 feet

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot is equal to 6.6666666666667E-5 × 5000 yards.

Another way is saying that 5000 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 6.6666666666667E-5 feet.

Approximate result

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

5000 yd ≅ 15000 ft

An alternative is also that one foot is approximately zero times five thousand yards.
