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 5500 yards into feet we have to multiply 5500 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

5500 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 5500 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 16500 ft

The final result is:

5500 yd → 16500 ft

We conclude that 5500 yards is equivalent to 16500 feet:

5500 yards = 16500 feet

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot is equal to 6.0606060606061E-5 × 5500 yards.

Another way is saying that 5500 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 6.0606060606061E-5 feet.

Approximate result

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

5500 yd ≅ 16500 ft

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