There are 3 feet in a yard, which is equivalent to 3/1 feet in a yard if converted into fractional form.

However, the question not asking for the answer in terms of cubic feet per yard; it is actually asking the 'inverse' relationship, where we are dealing in yards, not feet. Therefore, as we want the inverse relationship, we must flip the fraction upsidedown, or INVERT the fraction to get the right relationship.

Thus, by inverting the fraction, there is 1/3 of a yard in every foot. But when dealing in cubics, we are dealing in 3 dimensions, not just the one. So, in every one of the 3 directions, we will be using 1/3 of a yard in our measurement.

Mathematically, therefore, we must multiply 1/3 with itself three times:

1/3 X 1/3 X 1/3 = 1/27

So there is 1/27 of a cubic yard in 1 cubic foot.

A yard, or cubic yard, is 27 cubic feet, so 1 cubic foot would be 1/27 cubic yard, or 0.037 cubic yards.
