When to use feetyards

Feet to yards divides by 3. A 300 ft running track straight is 100 yd; a 27 ft room is 9 yd. Used to compress long foot measurements into yards for sports fields, carpet and turf ordering (sold by the square yard in the US), and concrete (the "yard" of concrete is actually a cubic yard). The division is exact; a remainder of one or two feet stays as feet rather than an awkward decimal yard.

Landscapers ordering mulch or sod calculate bed dimensions in feet while walking the site with a tape measure but suppliers price bulk material by the square yard, so the linear feet dimensions need converting before ordering. A 30 ft long bed is 10 yd, a clean conversion since 3 ft equals 1 yd exactly — landscapers who keep bed widths in multiples of 3 ft avoid awkward fractional yard orders at the supply yard.
