10 square feet = 1.11 square yards.
You will need 7.1 square yards of fabric.
To determine square feet you need two dimensions: length and width. If the fabric is 500 yards long, then it is 1,500 feet long (3 feet per yard). If the fabric is 3 feet wide (36"), then the total is 4,500 square feet, but if it is 5 feet wide (60") then the total is 7,500 square feet.
The piece is 2 yards by 4 yards ie 8 square yards. Square yards is a measure of area and there are no yards (a measure of distance) in square yards.
From what I can tell, fabric is usually converted by using a factor of 18. So, 1 yard of fabric = 18 square feet of fabric. Note that this rule ONLY applies to fabric. For almost all other materials (carpet, tile, wallpaper, etc) you would use SQUARE yards and square feet, and this uses a factor of 9 (ie. 9 sqft =1 sqyd).

almost 3 yards 2.87 yards
15 ft = 5 yards 5 yards* 5 yards = 25 square yards
10-ft by 10-ft = 100 square feet = 111/9 square yards.
That's 18 square feet - which is 2 square yards.
We have to presume you want to find out "what 480 sq feet is in 'SQUARE' yards. If it is square yards that you want to convert to you have to determine how many square feet there are in a square yard. A yard is 3 feet long a square yard is 3 feet by 3 feet, so to determine square feet in a square yard you multiply 3X3 to determine that there are 9 sq.ft in a sq.yard. So divide the 480 sq. feet that you have by the 9 sq. feet in a sq. yard: 480/9 = 53 1/3 square yards.There are other uses of the term yard which could apply, though. Fabric, for example, is measured in running yards (by a specific width of the bolt of fabric). The width could vary between 32 and 60 inches, depending on the fabric. So if you're trying to cover 480 square feet with fabric, then you would need more information. See related link below, about how fabric is measured.
If you have 6 yards (or 18 feet) of fabric and you need 14 feet (or 4 2/3 yards), you have 4 feet (or 1 1/3 yards) moe than you need.
In the USA, fabric is sold by the yard (3 feet). In metres, in most countries.
