What is 480 sq feet in yards?

Answer 1

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.
