Best Answer

To convert from square feet into square yards, you divide by 9, not 3, because it is a unit of area, not of length, and therefore you have to multiply in both a vertical and horizontal direction, of the same length. 9 square feet is equal to 3 feet in each direction, therefore a square yard is equal to a yard in each direction.
