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 5.5 yards into feet we have to multiply 5.5 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
5.5 yd → L(ft)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in feet:
L(ft) = 5.5 yd × 3 ft
L(ft) = 16.5 ft
The final result is:
5.5 yd → 16.5 ft
We conclude that 5.5 yards is equivalent to 16.5 feet:
5.5 yards = 16.5 feet
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot is equal to 0.060606060606061 × 5.5 yards.
Another way is saying that 5.5 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 0.060606060606061 feet.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five point five yards is approximately sixteen point five feet:
5.5 yd ≅ 16.5 ft
An alternative is also that one foot is approximately zero point zero six one times five point five yards.
