25ft is greater there are 3 yards in a foot so 7yds and 1 foot is the same as 22ft
Convert to the same units, then a comparison can be made: Converting both to feet: 1 yd = 3 ft → 2 yd = 2 × 3 ft = 6 ft < 7 ft → 2 yards is less than 7 ft Alternatively, converting both to yards: 3 ft = 1 yd → 7 ft = 7 ÷ 3 yds = 2 1/3 yds > 2 yds → 2 yards is less than 7 ft.
