Set up a proportion, which is a comparison between two or more things.3 feet = 1 yardx feet = 27 yardsYou are converting to smaller units. Feet are smaller than yards. So you multiply!27 x 3= 81.So 81 feet = 27 yards.You can double-check your answer by cross-multiplying.3 ft x 81 ft 1 yard 27 yardsSo you multiply diagonally; that is, multiply 1 yard by 81 ft, and 3 ft by 27 yards. The products should equal. Hooray!... Show More
