The other two answers are people who have no clue what they are talking about. A linear yard is not a measurement of length. It is a measurement of area in certain industries. What is actually means is that only one of the dimensions is a yard. The other dimension varies. They are right that you can't convert between them. You have to know what the other dimension is. However, they are not right in thinking that they are two different things.
AnswerSquare yards and linear yards measure two different things (area and length) so it is not possible to convert between the two. AnswerSquare yards and linear yards measure two different things (area and length) so it is not possible to convert between the two.That is true but if you know how many yards of fabric you have and the width ( in inches) you can convert to sq yards.
yards X (width in inches)/36 = square yards
Its a trick question. This can not be accomplished. Square yards can be converted into square meters but a linear yard by definition is a straight line.
at 60 " wide how do you convert linear yards to meters
A linear yard is a unit of length. A square yard is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
You can't convert that. It just doesn't make sense to convert between square units and linear units.
You can't convert a square measure to a linear measure. You might convert it to square meters, or to square kilometers.You can't convert a square measure to a linear measure.

Linear yards only takes into account the length, square yards is the length multiplied by the width. You could arrive at an answer by calculating the square root of 2500 which is 50
You can't convert between square units and linear units - it just doesn't make sense. You can convert square meters to square yards, or meters to yards.
You cannot convert a square measurement to a linear measurement. 110 sq. ft. is a square measurement. Yards is a linear measurement (=3 feet).
Can't be done, they are different measures, one of area and one of length.
You can convert from linear feet to linear yards and multiply, or you can multiply the linear feet and then divide by 9 square feet per square yard. 60 feet = 20 yards (because there are three feet to the yard) 12 feet = 4 yards 20 x 4 = 80 square yards === === 60' x 12' = 720 square feet 720/9 = 80 square yards
To convert square feet to linear yards, you need to know the width of the material in feet. Divide the square footage by the width of the material in feet to get linear yards. The formula is Linear Yards = (Square Feet / Width in Feet).
You simply can't convert between linear units and square units.
You can't convert that. It just doesn't make sense to convert between square units and linear units.
To convert square feet to square yards divide by 27.
