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 980 yards into feet we have to multiply 980 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

980 yd → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 980 yd × 3 ft

L_(ft) = 2940 ft

The final result is:

980 yd → 2940 ft

We conclude that 980 yards is equivalent to 2940 feet:

980 yards = 2940 feet
